I think you're better off running it in primer/sealer until you have the money to do it right. I haven't painted a car yet, but all of the research I've done indicates that a good paint job is about 10% paint, 90% prep. If you're going to go all the way with the metal prep, I don't see the point in throwing a Maaco paint job on top of it just to have to strip it to paint it again later on. The real cost of the paint job is going to be all the labor to prep it. A good paint shop isn't going to want to paint over a Maaco job, they're going to want to paint on a surface that they know the paint will stick to best.
