So this isnt exaclt the next thing on my to do list but i am thinking ahead here. I am planning on getting a bigger compressor and some spray guns to lay the primer down with. initially i was planning on doing all the body work, laying the primer and then taking it somewhere to be painted. with some recent motivation i want to paint it myself. I am pretty experienced with finish work with laquer (high grit wet sanding and then buffing) but i know that isnt exactly the same thing. so the question is do i attempt to paint it myself in my garage or is there any reason this would be heavily discouraged. THANKS

how do you want it to look? if you do it yourself, it may look like a maaco paintjob... if you want it new-car/show quality, pay for it IMHO... the only way I would paint my own car is to say "I did that, Yo!" other than that, it's worth the money to have a quality shop do it... if I was closer to mexico, that would be the route to take...
