I've had 5 cars painted. The first 4 were done by the young son of a guy who worked for my brother and we did it it my brother's farm shop. I paid the guy like $150 and supplied the paint, etc. at a cost of at least $200. The last time around the kid was no longer available.
I had the car painted a single color (white) at Maaco for $280 and, as far as I am concerned, for a single standard color that is the only way to go. I was quite surprised at the quality of the job - shiny and no runs - really all you need in a race car that will end up beaten and battered and needing a repaint long before the Maaco job starts fading. The only caveat is that you might want to do some additional masking as overspray got under my hood and everything is a little hazy now. I have some pix of the car before I put on the graphics if anyone wants to see it.
In fact I need to repaint the fenders and nose now - any suggestions re getting a good job w/ spray cans? Sometimes I get a good result and sometimes it just doesn't have the gloss it should.
