100% agree with this: "stripping the car and changing color is time consuming" - it took me 3x the hours I planned on.

But I setup a paint booth in my parents garage (total cost $65), bought a used compressor and cheap stuff form Harbor Freight and TCI Global and my total cost for full color change is currently sitting at $1000. Cheap HF gun works fine but wastes paint. I bought low cost paint from The Coating Store and it has been great too. Certainly not for everyone though due to the time and space needed.
