 Thinking of DIY re-spraying ?!

If you are thinking of respraying your car yourself THEN DON'T...unless you have a lot of patience and a lot of skin on your fingers.. this weekend I think i will lose most of the skin off my fingers due to too much contact with industrial strength paint stripper, thinner and prepsol .. 
Prepping up the car, fixing dings and primer-ing it up is a slow ass process and unless you can work on the car 7 days a week u will see no progress !! 
fark !!! enuff winging... early morning tomorrow... need to get the beast back on the road  before the New Year ...

I did my own TA23 in my backyard! Had a guy to help spray it, but I had to prep it. its a LOT of work (No one would help me!). A lot of sandpaper, and a lot of patience.
Came up realy well though, and I only paid about $500 for it.
