You don't have to spend big bucks to get a quality paint job. My friend's 31 Ford sedan was shot in his driveway. All he used was a bunch of PVC for a frame- rolls of plastic, couple of box fans & furnace filters & a decent EBAY Sharpe gun & a Home Depot 60 gal compressor.
It's won best paint at many shows. It's unbelieveable & many are shocked when he tells them it was painted in driveway.
