In a perfect world I would. Painting a car in an HOA controlled neighborhood in south Florida is a bad idea. It's enough that I have a lift and wrench on it without hesitation. It's my problem and I created it.

However I'm not going to scuff and squirt this truck. I want quality.

Look around you might be able to find a shop with a booth you can rent for a weekend. That is the route I am going. Basically renting the clean epa approved environment, I bring my own guns and consumables. Leave it in the same condition I found it.

I'm not the smart guy, but am pretty sure the "paint" is the cheap part of a paint job. What you end up paying dearly for is all the prep work and clean up/buffing after its painted. If your willing to do any of that yourself you can save a good bit.

I feel you on the HOA. My old hood a couple members on the board were trying to figure a way to force me to sell my rock crawler (2 door cherokee on 37's). It was immaculately kept/clean and and always garaged unless i was driving it. ( Mind you I was the first person in the hood to help anyone and had the best kept house/yard. You could putt a golf ball on my lawn.) Once I found out about all their issues I kept it in the driveway and joined the board. Let's just say it kept things interesting.
