Default Paint Question

Im looking to get my hood and two fenders painted because the arizona sun fades the hell out of em. Was wondering if anyone had personal experience with maaco, Im on a budget but I dont want a **** job and have heard that they do a decent paint job. Also if anyone who lives in Tucson knows of a local shop that does a good job for a good price I would also be interested in them.

My wife had her car painted by Maco before we got married. I have only one word for you. Don't.

I have not had experiance with maaco , I do know a couple that have. One turned out ok for what it was , the other had nothing but issues and ended up getting it painted at a actual shop. I recently got mine painted and the problem I kept running into with body shops was they were not making enough off painting mine. That said the thing is they can make way more off a insurance job in the same amount of time so they just didnt want to fool with a simple paint job. Check with like tint shops auto accesories places they usually know of somebody that can do the paint and not break the bank. I had from the doors forward painted sebring silver metallic < stock color > it was sanded down , primered and painted for $400. The local bodyshops started at $2200.
