The only thing I have to say about painting for the first time is that metallic is going to be a nightmare! The metallic in the paint tends to botch up and not go on even unless you're pretty experienced with spraying. I have painted one car, used to have a '66 Galaxie 500, spent an aweful lot of time on the body, then I painted it black so it looked pretty good. But metallocs are tough, unless they have some new miracle paint, but I doubt it. Take a look at any metallic Chrysler product on the road today, it's subtle but the metallic in the paint is botchy, especially the ram trucks. I guess they haven't figured out how to program the computer to control it yet!
