Most dealers shouldn't be sending work to Maaco. The only thing I can think of is that you are out of warranty and they were giving you a cheap alternative. Maaco is ok, but hardly a lasting paint job. I used them for my last show car to do body kits and things, but the parts never saw normal driving. There is a reason that they charge 1/3 of the price. If it is under warranty (I am not sure how Honda covers parts like that in the paint warranty), you should be able to call Honda directly and state your case.
