Paint is the one thing I don't do. It takes too much time and costs a lot in materials. If you screw it up its more time to fix it. The cheapest way to go is to remove EVERYTHING, do all the prep, drive it to Maaco, Earl Sheib, etc. and then wipe it down in the parking lot, etc. The chimps at the cheapo paint joints don't know much but they know how to shoot the paint. I have seen several "cheap" jobs like this come out really nice. RT
