Maaco generally does body work/rust repair.
My experience with 2 cars, 2 Maaco's, they do a pretty good job with it, just
make sure YOU inspect the car before they apply the paint.
When I had my NYer done, the paint job was $399 and
the estimated body work was $1000. When they reached the $1000 mark they
stopped doing the body work and painted the car. Another 2-3 hours of work
and the car would have looked like a million bucks. Instead I've got a
real nice paint job over the 3-4 large parking lot dings.

I haven't followed this thread but I am preparing for a repaint of my
black 65 Crown. Do these shops like Miracle do minor body work/rust repair?
What about the chrome bits? Are they removed or just masked?

Eric,
I had my 64 Crown done by Miracle Auto Painting in
Stockton CA. I was very pleased with the job. I would suggest you visit
the different shops and look at a finished product. They should have a
couple in various stages of finish to so you can see the process. If they
won't let you see that then I would move on to another shop. I also agree
that going to black you would be very unhappy. Shops like Miracle
& Maaco do so much painting they are pretty good at it. I had a bad
experience with Earl Scheib awhile back, so I wouldn't
personally recommend them, According to the Sacramento Phone book you have 5
Maaco's and 5 Miracle's to choose from. That should give you a pretty good
start. Good luck & keep us updated
