I have been reading up on doing this when the stealth shuttle is ready. Here's another link to add.
http://www.paintucation.com/
along with the bugshop link and the autobody101.
So how did you pick the brand of paint/primer/ect...... I see so many different brands/grades that it's hard to tell what market you're in.

when i had my car painted a few months ago i paid a guy $500 for a little body work and to spray it, then about $600 for a gallon of paint, clear, reducer, hardener, a few rolls of tape and a bottle of crytal blue pearl. kinda shitty because the pearl supposedly wouldn't show up on the silver so he gave me the $125 for it and kept it. that was cool with me because i had taken enough to fill a large pill bottle out befor ei gave it too him for my next project .
