I wouldn't unless your expecting a cheap paint job. You get what you pay for, and most of their paint services are cheap.. I have no clue on how good their more expensive ones are.. I think someone on here got their's painted RSP?
I think you'd be better off going to a well known local shop, ask around and see who does it the best. and if possible do the prep work yourself.

Maaco is the McDonalds of auto painting. Not exactly a fancy restaurant.
Find the local custom car shops and ask for a few names of shops that "can spray".

Its all on the preparation. I have seen some great jobs...done at both earl shieb and Maaco. you have to watch tape the car as well as other pre paint duties. Maaco has a spray booth just like any other shop. Its all on what you want. Earl shieb will paint my 97+ upgrade.... I will keep you posted

I had my old 92 sc repainted there, lasted about 4 months... you can't wax it or anything because it leaves permenant swirl marks due to the lack of clear coat! But on the bright side, the paint job did look good enough to pull in 5g's for a 92 with 212,000k!
