I have to agree 100% with this comment.

To me, my car is a reflection of my abilities, not my pay packet. Everything i do to my car i do myself. Not one mechanic, spray painter, or re-trimmer has done a thing on my car. Its all me.

Thats why i'm going to the effort of painting my car, myself. Doing everything, and doing it properly. I know I could get the best spray job every if i spent 10 grand, but so far i've spent 1k and with the time and effort i'm willing to put in it will be just as good as anything else. Apart from the fact that i'll be able to tell people that I did it.
