My 240 is starting to have minor rust bubbles. Im thinking of just getting the whole car sanded down and primered. What is a reasonable price for this kind of job. Also how hard is it for me to do the job myself?

i don't know if it's so much hard as it is time consuming

if you don't know what your doing its very hard to do a GOOD job on your own. My advice is to pay a competent body shop to do the work, you'll be happier in the long run!!

if you are just sanding and priming, its not very hard to do it yourself.  So long as you have the motor skills of the average 5 year old and the right equipment.  (My dad has big, manly air compressor and auto-sprayers ect..)   For the painting part, i'd definately reccomend a body shop.
