Yes it would have only if you would have used their paint. If you being your own in and do the prep work MACCO would give you a good paint job. Those guys are not amateurs like Jiffy lube.
OP nice job! If I have one piece of advice for you is next time consider doing it in a garage if you have one. The wind was kind of freaking me out when you first started on your passenger door and you only had that window masked. Like you stated you were not using auto part off the shelf paint and you can tell because at least in your video the quality looks really good. Hope to see you at MTTS in SF.

Also, I think you're spot on about taking it to MACCO for the actual painting -- I suspect I could have had it painted for close to what I spent on materials.
I did go to one neighborhood body shop for a quote six months ago, and they quoted a estimate of $3,200, if they did the prep work ($500 was extra for changing the paint color). It's not a high end shop, and after doing the work, that price seems down right reasonable.
I don't have a garage, but I had a fur tree dropping stuff in the clear coat and big tractor/trailer trucks driving by every 5 minutes.
1500 grit sand paper fixed most of the really ugly spots.

I showed the video to my wife, who currently drives this:
so she's no stranger to "unique" cars, and she said "I want that on my next car!".
It pains me to say this (I usually don't like the blackout look) but I think on your car you should go with black wheels, mirrors and blackout trim on the black side, and keep the silver wheels and chrome on the white side, for a full "good versus evil" thing. You could Plastidip the wheels to see what it would look like.
