The timing of this question is remarkable since I'm in the middle of repainting our Mayfair. I have had GOOD results with our local MAACO shop. I do the body prep and they just spray. They are professional and have great equipment to do a good job. They can keep the price down with their volume of work, but seem to take their time with the old classics. They use S-W paint and have had no trouble matching old color codes. But thats just my experience with the local guys I know. I'm repainting the Mayfair because "a guy someone knew" painted it nine years ago and I've never been happy. You don't always get what you pay for . . . sometimes, but not always.
I did find a great source for matching old paint codes if anyone is in the need. They will mix lacquer and even put it into rattle cans too! Go to:
