For $1000 you dont really have a choice. Its Macco or nothing. The good news is that for $1000 you can get one of Maccos better packages. The key is going to be doing some prep work yourself. Take as much off the car as you can before bringing it to them. Lights, handles, trim, weatherstripping, emblems, etc. The more you take off the better the car will look and longer it the paint will last. Best part is that taking things off is FREE!

What will make the price go up in a hurry is if you are changing the color of the car. Since it sounds like you are changing colors, you have to think about door jambs, trunk jambs, under the hood, etc. Painting all of those places will cost you extra money. Your $1000 budget will go quick. Even at a place like Macco.
