My car was originally gold.. Ive had a Maaco paint job on my car for 300 bucks.. the paint started to fade after 3 months.. since it was on a 2 year warranty, they painted it again and had no problem since.. still to this day, ive had no problems.. but if you are willing to pay a $1,000, you should go someplace else.. ive heard some good stuff about "stock or modified"
