I've got a nice little 1997 Nissan Hardbody (truck--56,000 miles) who is my baby. I have been thinking about a paint job. She needs no work (except for the little bit that I can do).

I would like a bright paint job with a stripe down the middle.

But I don't want to throw good money away.

Maaco does pretty decent work, although it’s a franchise and they vary from one to another.
Most use a crew of illegals to do the prep grunt work (sanding and masking), which is how they keep the cost down.
I had a Saturn repainted five years ago (got in a wreck and replaced half the body - plastic panels are removable) was surprised at the quality of the job.
