Here is my advice, if you have any doubts about your ability to paint bite the bullet and have it done professionaly.

I have seen a lot of cars with budget, or do it your selfe paint jobs that make an otherwies beautiful car look like crap.

It would be a shame to see somethig that you have put this much time and effort into end up not looking as great as it could due to a poor paint job.

Just my $0.02

Love it - Hate it - Its all the same
