I will be shooting my car in the next two weeks. Ive had all the materials and have done this before. It takes a few times to get used to the gun and adjusting the correct spray pattern. If you are interested in doing something like this yourself i would recommend getting a book and perhaps an instructional video. Oh and i dont think anyone mentioned it but you definitely need an industrial spraying mask. Those fumes are ridculous even with the mask on. Mine ran me about $275. So yeah....spraying parts yourself is extremely cost-ineffective if you onlly plan on doing it once. The materials alone will cost a good buck. But if you do decide to shoot your bodykit or body yourself, the best thing to remember is that the prep work will make or break your final product.
