there are tons of posts on the quality of maaco paint jobs. why dont you go there, ask them what you should expect from a "top dollar paint job" and go from there. maacos are all franchised(i think) so they are all different. i think that if you let them know what you are expecting they could do it. but if you ask them whats up and they can't guarantee it, i'd say save your pennies and go elsewhere. BTW i have heard of them painting a car without removing the license plate.........DOH!

A good paint job is 98% prep work, not quality of the paint at hand.

Maaco doesnt do **** for prep, so, to answer your question.

No.
