I am getting my car back from the body shop today. They filled a few holes and basically got the car to the point where I just need to mask, sand lightly and then put on my base/clear coats. I have a guy who can do it in his shop for some amount of money, but I am thinking I could just do it myself. I have a garage I can setup, compressor and I can buy one of those Eastwood guns. I have done a little spray painting a few years back, but nothing to the quality of an exterior paint job. Should I do it myself or shell out the money? The body shop I was at wanted an extra 1200 to do the paint...didn't make sense. All thoughts are appreciated. I will post pics of the car when I get it back later this evening.
