    Painting has become a lot more complex with the advent of urethanes and the use of catalysts. I painted my own cars years ago when you had a choice of lacquer or enamel, but not anymore. If you don't have a paint booth or suitably vented space, and knowledge of paint properties, you can wind up with a mess. And given the cost of materials, it just isn't worth it.
