Maaco paint job?

StevieC124 said
I have a 69 dart slant six that needs paint badly. I'm on a strict budget and don't know whats the best way to go with paint.
Should i just do all the work myself and spray it in my garage? I got a suitable compressor and sprayer, just never painted a whole car before.
Or possibly a cheap maaco paint job? (Anyone recently gotten one? If so post a pic or two)
Also the car has a vinyl roof with bubbling underneath it.
The paint job really only needs to look better than it is now and last me through high school atleast.
Lastly I'm 99% percent sure I want a different color. Right now it is a peachy orange color. Will get pics later probably. Thanks.

I live in Canada, so my experience may be different than yours.

I COULD NOT find a shop that was willing to take my car in and shoot it after I had done the bodywork.
It wasn't that my work was bad.... they would not even look at it.

Also.... I painted my shell in my garage. Built a tent out of vapor barrier, had ventilation, and a high quality organic solvent vapor mask.

I NEARLY DIED> DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY
My diagnosis was chemical Pneumonia. Permanent damage done by VOC. I will never be the same and have an increased chance of developing cancer.

In the end, I paid a shop 10,000.00 to take my car down and paint it.
