with paint jobs, you get what you pay for. Simple as that. Yes one place you said did shotty work and ok other places may take more pride in what they do But you will still be paying for cheap low quality paint.
For a dd or a car you don't plan to keep, go for it. Anything else, don't. I had a trans am painted by saddle brook macco in 1999. Came out ok with some runs and overspray but looked better so it would sell.
I will be painting my current trans am in the coming year. Ill be doing it myself and paint cost alone will be $1500 easy not including other supplies like sandpaper etc. I use ppg paints which are good quality, and not even a very high end paint which could cost several times more.
To have a good quality paint job done by a professional, Id say to expect $4000 min and that's no bodywork or taking anything apart or off the car.
A $500 macco job is never going to compare. It will always be a substandard job regardless.
