i have a garage and a fairly decent budget. we are up to do the prep work but i still have reservations about doing the paintjob. (i have a friend with knowledge and some experience). what are the major problems i can run into? it would be a great learning experience, but i don't fell like working on a car for a couple of weeks only to f-up the paintjob and have to hand it over to a body$hop. please share your experiences, tips and caveats.

I'd agree about the masking. Use good quality masking tape too, particularly to mask off the edges of windows and trim if you are not removing them completely.
Patience is also key, as they say on the can - many thin layers are better than one thick layer covered in drips. All in all I found it a relaxing enjoyable exercise, but then I enjoy quality over speed. -------------------- |
