Painting Truck

So my 2003 XLT is the Dark Highland Green with the tan interior. The green is ok, just not really a big fan of it. I have slight rust on the rear passenger side door, down at the bottom and a few scratches on the truck. I'd like to have the truck painted and since I'm not a big fan of the color, I was thinking of having it painted a different color. I was actually thinking of going with yellow. (When I was looking at trucks, I had found a yellow Ranger I was interested in). My question is has anyone used Maaco to have a vehicle painted? I don't need a full restoration but want a decent paint job. I did their online quote and it quoted me between 1700 and 2500, for their top tier paint job (2 stage).

The first picture is of my truck, the second picture is the color I'd like to go with.

Maaco are franchises I believe, some do good work some do not. Had a f-250 repainted with new bedsides over the wheel arches. Paint bubbled up after a year where they had welded the patches in as they never treated the bare metal on the backside. Better off finding a reputable body shop that is not part of a chain.
