My 2 cents worth about MAACO....

I had them paint a Tiger I owned about 20 years ago. I asked for a dark 
Navy Blue. I got  a fluorescent sky blue that lool like the color that 
was used a lot on Bugatti's. I ws not pleased, and refused to pay them 
for the work. I guess the guy mixing the pint ws color blind.
