To pay or not to pay, that is the question

Well, I for one an no painter. I did paint the cab of my powerwagon a few years ago, so I do have the needed skills to do my Swinger myself:-D
ok I will be serious. I do plan on doing mine myself; 1) I only have myself to blame, 2) If I don't like it, I'll do it till I do. even if it cost me more in the long run. 3) I will be able to say "yes, I did it myself". Everything.........
Even if it ain't perfect. My car by no means will not be a show car. Just wanted an ole' Mopar to drive and take to cruise ins.
A rule for me would be if you have them paint may as well have them prime it. Maybe you can even get a class from him?
