$249 Paint job @ The Local Shop...Worth Doing?

IMO, there are 3 things.....
A. Is your car going to spend all its life out in the sun and weather?....or garaged? If garaged, I'd say you could get away with lower-quality paint and it'll never bite you.
B. What kind of paint will they be using? Maaco has specials on their urethane jobs now and then. I'm no fan of clearcoats either.....give me single stage, if possible. Seen so many clearcoats go south and look like sh**. I mostly go with non-metallic colors anyway, black, reds or whites.
C. Do as much of the prep/disassembly as possible!.....which includes getting all the circular sanding scratches out of the primer.
