Funny - the president of MAACO was on Undercover Boss just last night.

Mine came with a black "done in the barn" job. It's very thick paint from the 60's or 70's and it buffed up pretty well for driver.

I know a guy who did a '50 shoebox in white through MAACO and it looked OK.

Point being I guess that it depends on what you want in the end. Get it done and use it - or - take it apart, prep it, run out of money, get the money, prep it again, paint it, run out of money, get the money, assemble a really nice car, worry about it.

I suppose it would make a difference if someone here can help you choose a paint and you can spec that paint for the job.
