Maaco paint jobs?

Before you get a paint job from Maaco, make sure you ask them how long the type of paint you choose needs to cure before waxing/buffing. Their cheapest option doesn't use hardeners and needs to dry for months before you are allowed to apply wax. Also ask how thick the paint will be and and if it can be wetsanded when it is done. If you can wetsand and polish, you can make any paint job look better.

He is right. If you go the cheap route the paint will remain soft for months even though they bake it. All of the maaco chains I have seen get there paint from the same supplier. You have to ask for their best urethane paint and not single stage. It will really depend on the knowledge of the painters they have working for them. The maaco I use has a veteran painter that knows his chit. You will have to look at the work they are putting out at your local shop and you be the judge. I have seen 4000 dollar paint jobs that the paint quality looks like crap.
