Default MAACO SIGNATURE PAINT? YES OR NO?

I took my car into MAACO for the signature paint job which estimated 1700 around but they lowered it to 1399. This includes poping out all dents to orignial and full original super sonic blue pearl paint job. Is MAACO trustworthy to do it? will my paint job come out good as if new from honda?

I wouldn't trust MAACO after my paint job with them. I got mine done for 1200 for the same application as you. What is the estimated time that they gave you when they will finish the job? They finished mine in about 5 days, which I thought was too fast. The turn out was not that great either. I should of brought the car back to get it repainted, but hesitated. Had some paint runs, some parts of the car was not smooth and I even got suckered into the 2 year warranty, which I found out a couple of months after my paint job that they went out of business. Your call!!! MAACO=

What is the "signature" paint?

Is it a true basecoat/clearcoat?

Or is it the same old crap that they paint with for their $300 jobs?
