I had a maaco job on my camaro, i changed it from red to black, and it looked great....after a couple of months and a real good wax job, i was taking it to local car shows. nothing spectacular, but the car looked clean!!

If you are going to keep the car for a very long time, then put the money into it for a really good job. If not, just repaint it in the original color because when you go to sell it, potential buyers will wonder why you picked another color. I was looking at used cars 7 months ago. I found a beautiful blue one, but the paint was chipping in so many places that you can see it was originally a white car. More questions came up in my mind. I figured it was in an accident and got a really cheap paint job and it probably would get worse. I passed on it because to me it wasn't worth an additional $2-3K to fix it down the road.

You did not mention what is the sports car....
I got a great deal on a 72 911T that had
kissed the wall on exit from the pit.
I used IMRON paint (@$200) one stage
Air compressor (@$200) Paint Gun (@$25)
Primer and thinner (@$100)
A lot of sanding and surface filler,
Painted under a tent as IMRON will Kill your
Lungs .
Paint job came out as good as pro after 6
years.
Depends on how much work you want to
put into it.
Otherwise MACCO or Earl with you doing
the prep work would do.
