Will I be sorry?

For my 2 Cents, I feel that if you take the car there, and prep the car yourself. That is that you sand everything, and then wet sand everything until it looks perfectly flat. If you have rust take care of it properly any bare spots or low spots get them filled. And if possible talk to the guy painting the car and tip him or buy pizza for the entire shop, as so he tries not to sag the car or have dry spray, and everyone else that touches your baby will be careful. The car should turn out pretty nice, keep it waxed and garaged I think it will last longer than one might think.
