I hope so. I would spare no expense if I was to have mine painted.

I am going to do the prime myself. Have some experience with it. Not sure who will do the finish.

If I screw up the primer I can always sand it out and start over.

Very true.

I have another question. I am sanding down the body and finding several layers of paint and bondo. Plus another filler, grey or metal color? I am finding it under the bondo. Is there a grey body filler? Almost looks like a resin for fiberglass but not finding any fiberglass mixed in.

Ok, that is what it looks like. And its harder than bondo to sand off.
