There is no way some shops can compete with a Maaco special.
But if you're looking for something better, I can do what you're looking for at about $500 - $700 depending on the cost of the paint and materials.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, post and I'll give you my email to contact me.

Yeah, and the results of that low price special look it, too. In one sense, there isn't anything wrong with Maaco unless you do not realize that you really do get what you pay for.

ckljy, you can save some money by doing the sanding and taping yourself. Even if the painter (hockeyfan, for instance, whom I happen to know to be good at what he does) has to add a little more work on top of what you do, you can still knock 8 to 10 hours off the cost of a paint job.

Painting a car and having the paint job look good afterward involves a ton of preparation work and minute attention to detail. I don't have the patience for it, but solid preparation is a large part of the work, and even a moke like me can do that much without screwing up too badly.

Do not be surprised or offended if the professional painter looks at your 24 man hours of work and tells you it's a good beginning, then points out a dozen or so errors. If it were real easy, the professional body man wouldn't have a career.

The actual painting is part art form and part skill, combined with good quality materials. Let the person actually painting the car select materials, and you'll see seriously good results.

Not a commercial but the guy at Al Smith's Chrysler in BG does a great job and very reasonable.
