How bad is Carsmetics?

I need to get my car repainted and have enough right now but I SOOOOOOOOOOOO don't want to spend the $2500 they quoted me. So I was wondering how bad really are those low price car paint places? I just want it to look stock again, nothing special. I am not the type to need a glossy car plus it's a 1999. I plan on driving it into the ground. So really is it that big of a difference? Will I really regret doing this?

dont get the cheap 200 maco paintjobs, they are really only meant for bucket cars like an old 87 nissan sentra. maybe the higher end paintjobs, around 699 at earl sheibbs, would be alrite, they have a 6 year warranty too

yeah I was looking at maybe spending a grand instead of 2500 because right now that would break me.

I guess I will get a quote from the today. I have heard good things about minor paint but never heard anyhting about their overall quality of a full paint job.
