MAACO It'll look good in pictures, and from a distance, but once you get a close look on it you'll notice where it was taped off, where they missed spots, orange peel, that kinda stuff.

If your paint is in shabby shape right now, flaking, etc then you should do the body work yourself (stripping it down and masking it off) then send it in to MAACO. Their prep sucks the hard one, and their paint is cheap, but it'll look decent for a lil unless they royally screw up... which they've been known to do
