I'm not sure I am prepared to pay $2000+ to respray 1/3 of my car. Heck, it's black not some weird silver metallic, eh.
I may run over to Maaco and have them give me a quote. It may not be the best paint job on the planet, but if it's 1000 buck$ or less .... that's kewl. Plus, who knows.
Anyone have any good/bad experiences with Maaco? I'd be interested in reading.

Stay away from Maaco. I had them spray a $1200 Honda for me years ago and it looked alright for a while but was crap after 2 years of wear. They do pretty much zero prep work. They did not even bother to remove the front license plate bracket before they painted, but hey it was about $350 for the whole car and it was a 15 year old Honda.
I was just sorta half kidding ... Maaco is not what I'd like to have on my B-car.
I've pretty much decided to just drive it with the chips and sand blasted front end. Heck, it's a few years old ... and in 3 years (or less), I'll just get me a new one !
Let the next dude/dealer deal with it. It does look OK frm a distance.
