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

It will take a lot longer.
It will look a lot better, as long as you take a long time. Got mine back from the painter today after being scraped all the way down one side while parked at Harbor Freight. The finish is great. The masking is awfull. If you do it yourself you can take off all the things BEFORE painting, instead of AFTER, and won't have to figure out how to get the paint off all those rubber parts.
