I'd stay the heck away from from Maaco. Get a reputable body shop do the body work...then get your own paint and paint it. I had Maaco do one of my vehicles and the paint lasted about 18 months before peeling...I put some time and effort into doing it myself with rattle cans and it's lasted 2 years. I put about 200 into all the paint. Check my gallery the black Bronco was the one I did.

Did I mention any thing about primer or filler before? No, just paint.
Quality materials alone for a complete would cost quite a bit more than that ...JMO ....
Next time you want to paint your Chevette out in the back yard stop by and see me
My guess is , this is where you paint ...
bought a gallon of PPG light medium blue metallic base, a gallon of clear, a quart of hardener and gallon of reducer for about $230
regain some of the sleep you may have lost due to this thread and my previous post 
To the original poster ...
If the Maaco repair is what is in your budget ...You have little choice,,,, Just from what you described in your post ,The repairs at my shop would be considerably more ..& come with a lifetime warrantee
Good luck ...

Again...I said quality ...PPG makes more than one line of paint...
You give yourself too much credit
I guess you dont have enough ammo for a battle of wits, I'm done with this

STAY AWAY FROM MACCO!!!!!!!
I have redone a few Macco paint jobs and seen others first hand. Unless you plan on selling it right after painting it, take it to a good body shop. I swear Macco hires flunkies that cant cut it at real shops.
