hey guys...I am seriously considering repainting my car but I want to do some research and find out the involvement in the whole deal. I want to do a lot of the prep work by myself. My car is probably going to be parked for a few months, so stripping off the parts and prepping it myself seems possible. A professional will still be painting it, but I figured this way i would be saving thousands on a paint job by doing the work myself.

How would I go about actually prepping the surface of my car? do you strike off the paint? primer? fill? like what are the steps and what tools do you need? Could somebody run me through the steps? Somebody who has done this kinda work before like Upgraded Si or somebody?


thanks guys...
