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
