If you're going to go to Maaco, stay away from the metallic paints. stay with a solid color. The cheaper maaco jobs lack a certain amount of luster, and metallics look really crappy as a result.

Re: $300 budget paint
To be perfectly honest, I've never seen a black coming out of maaco that looked presentable unless it was one of their $2k BC/CC "real" paintjobs.
Red and White, and regular old Blue look decent - other than that, you are pushing it with the "ambassador" paint job.
Keep in mind, Maaco's are franchised, so every once in a while you will find a Maaco that does AWESOME work for a very cheap price. They are few and far between, though.
