if you want to save money you could probably do all the prep work yourself... or go to Earl Scheib if you couldn't care less about the quality.
If you do it right it will never be worth repainting a perfectly good car. Just get the add-on parts painted to match.
I don't know how people can spend that kind of money on a car. Unless it is used for your work... and is a tax writeoff

RE: Level of difficulty
I completely agree. My cousin has been painting cars for a body shop for 15 years now. I've watched him do stuff before and it looked EASY. I used his equipment and supplies and tried it......not so easy. I agree that it's a skill that's acquired and refined over time and practice. I wouldn't even attempt it.

alot of places wont touch the car if someone does the prep because they cant gurantee the outcome. painting is basically in the prep

Only if you sign a waver
. If the paint job takes a dump as soon as I put the gun down to clean it, it's your problem, not mine.And I'm not spraying some cheap @ss paint brand either.
When I say that to people, they usually run
.Painting cars require a neutral and cleanenvironment that it has to stay that way from begining of prep, to the time thatyou unmask the shinny paint job
