Yes ricer (op) I have prepped an entire car ready for paint, just had my painter spray down the primer and paint + clear. Prep is the most important part. Total result was perfect.
Since you're a ricer, you will not be able to accomplish this task.
Better pay some guy on craigslist a few hundred bucks to spray your car with spray cans.
edit: you can find rims like that for $150/set new on ebay I'm pretty sure.

With most of the tools so cheap these days it is not hard, nor expensive to DIY.
Paint is the easy part. Get a big compressor from KMS ~500 bucks, HVLP guns from Princess ~200. A respirator. Paint from Sherwin Williams... Go nuts.
Read the MSDS first, one paint job at close proximity will write you off from the gene pool.

I doubt most people on here even know what a MSDS is

Well it is kind of like the fine print on TV ads.. if you don't know what it is, I am not sure you would want to paint the car yourself.

Natural selection at work. :whistle:
I think there are couple places in the GVRD that allow you to rent a spray booth as well.

Spray can jobs can actually look good.. that is if you know what you are doing.
It's all about the prep work, and light coats.

Yes however you need quite a few cans.. sometimes just getting a batch of paint mixed is cheaper (when you have the equipment like an air compressor or ready). Those chinese HVLP guns are bordering disposable.. the cleaning kit often cost as much as the gun itself.

If that were true id be dead 10 times over now, lol
Just so people know though, In a nutshell, paint has a chemical in it that helps it dry called isocyanates. When you breathe it in paint fumes the isocyanates never leave your body, and eventually they will build up so much that everytime you inhale paint you will basically have a asthma attack lol.
So always wear your charcoal filter respirator half masks people! :)

Yep fresh air supplied mask is defiantly the best option! But not accessible to most people who are painting in their garage lol

I would suggest you youtube some of this stuff. You can find it. But I wouldn't advise you trying it yourself, especially it seems like you haven't had much experience with this kind of thing.
Is there a reason you don't want to pay for a proper paint job?

Marty's week at a paint shop - YouTube
Obviously you can't cover everything in a 8 minute video, but this will give you a good idea in what work it takes to do it properly.
I've never seen anybody strip the paint off like they did in this video though.
:facepalm:
