Remember that if you do go the MAACO route, ask them what paint brand they would use so you will know if they are low-balling the price based on using cheap stuff that won't have the quality or durability of top-of-the-line stuff. The material for the '62 Catalina I am working on ran $1,500 for 1.5 gallons of PPG Concept Single Stage (with reducer and hardener), 1 gallon of K-38 with catalyst, and 3 qts. of DPLF90 with catalyst.

If they are quoting the cheaper lines they are usually open to using the higher-quality stuff if you pay the difference.
