I am really against being negative, but really, go and spend some extra money and paint it right. If you are into for 14 large then a few more bucks isn't going to kill you. Maaco, even here in Canada gets the offical lick ass award. I think that I can do a better job with a roller and brush. Then reason Maaco paint jobs fall off is because the prep work sucks so badly. I think that their budget for prep work includes only one piece of sandpaper. My Dad had his car painted at Maaco and those guys even painetd over some of the trim. I guess they used up their quota of tape on the job as well. Anyways sorry for the rambling, just want to save you some grief later on and from having to do it all over again.
