well ill try my luck in painting, i've always wanted to try it. seems easy enough and if i do well, i may have the confidence to spray my 84 supra. ive been neglecting her anyways, i found a place (Auto Body Supplies, Auto Body Equipment | Paterson, NJ) they seem to have what i need. i'll visit the place soon to see waht they are about. I know Autozone/Napa has automotive paints too but they are basic colors, not much variety.

anyone watch Mightycarmods- https://www.youtube.com/user/mightycarmods ? they have good vids on DIY tutorials and recently found
customspraymods - https://www.youtube.com/user/customspraymods
they have a similar setup but with spray techniques. they make a rattle can look easy. although, i wont go that route.
of course AMMONYC https://www.youtube.com/user/AMMONYCdotcom has the best and most meticulous ways to approach imperfections.
great vids to waste time at work lol
