Re: DIY Paintjob
90% prep 10% paint. I would prefer to paint in a booth. But did a lot of semis outside.
Growing up we did a 80s stepside did the prep and drove to Shieb with all trim off prepped the truck in parking lot, taped jambs and such... $500. paint at that time $75 gal for 817A white, base no color. Lost track of truck 10yrs after but paint still looked good even being a toy hauler to the sand.
If in garage make sure you tape off doors and wall because the paint will get in house. check if legal just incase nosey neighbors turn you in. But 1200 not bad because the price of paint. CA requires water base paint now I believe. By time you get gun and materials your already half way there. I personally Have more than that just in prep even with a "clean" truck and I did most of the work, but a real pro took over where I left off.
