Maaco paint job if I do some work?

[Chipdog]

I have been driving around with a white hood on my back mustang for almost a year. I dont see myself getting an extra 2k to get the entire car painted and belive me the whole thing needs it. If for some strange reasone I did fall into the money I would rather use it to make my baby go faster. That being said I was thinking of going to El cheapo paint shop like Maaco. I was thinking if I do all the prep work like the sanding and removing all the nonpainted items. Would it be possible to get a passable paint job? I mean they would just be sparying paint. Would it come out that bad?
Any input would be great. Are ther any "How TO" pages out there or could someone go into detail on what would have to be done.

Thanks
Chip
