     If you do decide to do macco, do the prep work yourself.  If you dont
   have any major dents, the better.  If I were you I would at least take
   the windows, the bumpers and anything else you dont want to get
   painted.  I have a few people recommend that I do all the prep myself,
   I mean all of it, and then take it to macco, but now that I have spent
   so much time on the car, I dont even want to chance it with macco.
   Besides, with macco you only get certian colors for a certain price.
   Any funky paint would probably cost you more.
