I have tried to paint 2 cars. One was moderately successful, the other was a
.. well shall we say not so successful.
It's a lot harder than it looks. It takes expensive equipment, and more
expertise than you expect. Details that as a novice wouldn't seem to matter,
can be crucial. Inexpensive knockoff equipment will betray you in the end.
The 3 things to remember are 1 preparation 2 preparation 3 preparation! The
_slighest_ imperfection in the surface will be magnified 10 fold in the paint.
Then if you get all that perfect, _any_ lint or dust present during the shoot
will negate all your prep work.
I figured the car wasn't that great, and getting it all on color would be an
improvement (it wasn't an Audi). I was wrong!
Flawed good paint is better than overall crappy paint.
Good luck.
