I have an itch to do some body work this spring and summer. I have no experience painting but I've read the HVLP high volume low pressure guns are easy to use and relatively inexpensive.

I do have a local guy who does excellent work who repaired and painted my extensively rusty windshield cowl in the past. He quoted $250-300 to prep and
paint 6 large rust bubbles that are forming at each attachment point of the roof rack. (I plan to remove the rack and plug the holes)

For that price I could get myself a beginner gun, primer, paint, and additional supplies. There are other areas like under the taillights (wagon) and a few spots starting on the rockers and also the wheel arches. I'm not looking to achieve showroom results but I figure that whatever I could do myself would be better than dying a rusty death.

Any thoughts or experiences to share?
