The route I went took a couple weeks. There is no way all of that work
could be done in 1 day. In may case (for the most part) "black is black"
so I was not worried about color matching.

The thing that bugs me about Maaco and One-Day Paint & Body is that you
have to use their paint/colors. If you want the original color on a car
and they do not have it, they will not do the job if you supply the
paint. i tried to get them to do it and it was a big NO WAY!

Assuming
you do not have major body work to take care of, they have
everything
pretty much wrapped up in to packages - like what paint you
want, trim
removal, different levels of prep and masking, color sanding &
buffing.
I had a BMW painted there and we basically went for the whole
enchilada,
the best of everything they had to offer. The car also required
a couple
of ding repairs, and the paint on the hood, roof and trunk had
to be
stripped to the metal. Ended up with a very nice, smooth black
paint
job (not concourse or anything) for around $4K. A quote from a
"real"
body shop was in the $6-7K range. I think I would have ended up
with
about the same quality of appearance, time will tell how well it
will
hold up.

FYI don't know about MAACO, but 1day P&B will not warranty the
paint if
you do your own prep work.
The mission viejo shop did do a pretty go job though.
