I've heard that if you do all the prep work and provide your own paint, it doesn't end up looking that bad. Apparently maaco does a crap job on the prep work, which is very important, that's why their paint jobs end up being crappy too.
Yeah you're supposed to use the toyota form in place gasket. Don't use a paper gasket, it won't work.
It may look easy on paper, but it's not an easy job, if you have a daily driver or something it's not so bad, since you don't have a time limit.
I don't know why you bother explaining it to them, they're either toyota fan boys or don't really know what they're talking about, either way they're too close minded to listen to reason.
I had this problem, it was because I had a big exhuast leak in the 6th cylinder exhuast manifold. I replaced the gasket and refinished the manifold, didn't have a problem with it afterwards.
