I was lucky enough that my father owns a cabinet shop and i did my front bumper in his shop. when stripping the paint you don't have to go all the way to the metal, some people just say to get through the clear coat and try to get to the base coat. From there you just lay a new base coat (primer) then go ahead with painting. A spray gun is a must and an air compressor, there are tons of guns gravity fed, can fed, and so on, and it's harder to make sure you don't over spray and get drips. Other than that the only other part that is hard is actual body work, if you need to bondo something then it does need to go down to the metal... i've only painted my front bumper and rear bumper but i read several books and i even had a cd/dvd guide that i got cheap, with a full walk through on paper so before you just jump in.. READ READ READ, and then READ SOME MORE!</p></blockquote><p></p>
