The first car you paint probably won't look great. I would find a free dead car (any make) and practice doing the bodywork and paint on it before painting your pride and joy. Do as much reading and research as possible, and ask your local paint supplier many questions. Good luck.

I've never painted anything without a rattle can and have no desire to, but I've been told by people who should know that a little practice and a lot of prep work are all it takes. Good paint jobs are expensive, and any time you spend researching, practicing, and prepping is bound to be time well spent. There is a body and paint forum here also that would be a good place to research and ask questions.
