It really is a wise choice. I love learning new things & believe me... I've certainly learned the hard way on many over the years. The hard truth is that I've only ever seen one or two owner painted vehicles in my life where the owner did all the work & it was their first crack at paint work where I'd not strip it back to bare metal & start over. Usually the owner is very proud of it but truth be known...when it comes time to sell, they lose more money than they think they saved.
There's only one reason to learn how to prep & paint your own vehicle...so you can say you did every aspect of the restoration yourself. If you're doing it to save money...forget it. Go get a job at Wallmart & take your $8/hr & give it to an experienced paint shop & you'll be so much happier with the end result... Not to mention you should have a $50k truck instead of one worth $18k.
That's my advice & I've painted lots of them & now just pay guys to do it. It really is an ugly job & it will cut years off your life.
