Your doors look darker than the rest of the body. That's the problem with shooting pieces separately.
OP,
Get a can of plastidip as mentioned above and give it some strategically located racing stripes.

nice corvair!
You get what you pay for at Maaco. A real body shop is your best bet. That's about a $1500 paint job around here. Maaco may actually make the car worse, as the paint may start peeling and dulling quickly.

I think that's the way the light is hitting it.

Wow, that Corvair looks good!
Of course, Widman's looks great as well, especially since it shows where BMW stole the design of its late sixties/early seventies sedans from. Squint a little and you can see a 1600 or 2002.
The OP should be aware that the only help for this paint is a fine sanding up and a respray.
Shame that the clear on some cars is so weak.
You see this with later Accords of the '98-'02 generation.
The early cars, like our old '99, had great paint.
The later cars, like our '02 not so much.
