like the others have said alot of money in paint tools wont make a paint job turn out great or even good all the tools sitting on the bench wont paint your truck, the person using them does I started out thinking that it looked easy 35 years ago /young and dumb it took me years of doing things over before I wanted anyone to see it my second year of painting I had a car in the Detroit autorama and I was surprized the wanted it and they are picky about what goes in a show then it went to another so if you really want to do this and it is a good feeling to do it all yourself take your time learn from people that are willing to help you and practise I'm sure other long time painters will tell you much of the same thing I say try it to see if you like it good luck I hope it works out for you
