If you do that Art, be sure to talk to Maaco about what primer to use first.
(and whether they would be willing to take the job at all.)  Not all modern
paints are compatible with all modern primers.  And the fellow at One Day
said they did not like to paint over customer's primer.  At the very least,
it will void the warranty.
