New Paintjob Options

[mjmsoccer]

Okay guys, I am thinking about getting a paint job from Maaco. I know all the rumors about it, but I know a few people that have gotten it done there, and they say as long as the car is prepped very well I should be fine.
What I was wondering is what is the difference between Urethane Enamel and Synthetic Enamel?
Thanks in advance.
BTW: I plan on doing the Indigo Ink Pearl from lexus/toyota

OK, so after some time researching paint types I've found the following:
Polyurethane Enamel is supposed to be the best single stage paint you can get. There is a clear coat mixed in and it is to be harder and retain the shine better than synthetic or acrylic enamels.
The main reason I was painting was due to a fender bender. I did all the body work and it finally looks half decent. There are some pictures in the link below going through the process. I had primed and painted the area until I had time to do body work, then I stripped it to metal, filled everything with bondo, then some metal glaze putty, and finally some filler primer.
Body Work
The welded crack was caused by the previous owner, which made things more difficult than it needed to be. The car goes to paint in the morning and I'll be picking it up Tuesday. I'll post pics when I get it back.
