if you're going to take it to maaco, make sure to fully prep the body yourself first. paints relatively cheap compared to the labour. my car didn't look too bad when i bought it, however i've already put 8 or 9 days into fixing up the body & i'm maybe a third of the way there. mind you, my flat head screw driver has a knack for finding hidden rusty spots that could have been left alone and i'm lucky enough to have a full body shop to use on weekends =)
how did you change a section of your rocker panel ? my passenger side panel has a few small holes in it.
grab a spray bomb of primer & gold wheel paint and see what you can fix up in your spare time. if you clean & prep the metal (rust converter), take care of whatever was causing the rust any bondo you put on the surface will outlast the car.
