  FYI:

  Although I have no personal experience with Maaco, I have heard that
they don't do the best quality work. For comparison, I paid around
$300 to have my hood painted. (And that was a bit of a discount
since I also had a tonneau and bed rails painted along with some
other touch-up.) Price will vary widely depending on where you live.
I'm out in the middle of nowhere, so you have to pay through the nose
for quality here.

  Something you might want to do is to ask around at the local
detailing shops to see who they recommend. That's how I found out
about the guy I used.
