I got my track car painted at Maaco. I supplied my own paint, hardner, primer etc.. I did most of the prep work and it shows (as this was my first time). It's not pretty, but I did learn a lot.

If I had to do it again, I would go the same route only do a much better prep job. Maaco was fine using my paint and following my instructions. I used the shop in Silver Spring off of Brookville Rd. To shot just the exterior ran about $400. They also shot the cockpit and inside both trunks. It's not a great job (only because of the prep work) and they shot it well, but I'm not complaining for about $1600 total cost. It's a track car and will never be a beauty queen. Had I spent more time on the prep and purchase better paint ... $3k would have given me a decent paint job. Just my .02 cent worth.
