Wow, yeah if a 15 year old can do it, I'm sure I can too. (No offense to the o.p.)
Please post up any info, pics and process.

lol, no problem lol, Im still trying to find thoughs pics though.

I had advice along the way though, and ive been helping do it all my life.
Dads a pro, and its not as easy as it seems.

Heres a quick warning. Dont paint after or durring rain. dont paint without booth. once done painting try not to even open booth until dry. use the best quality paint you can get. make sure to block everything before you start spraying, even if you think you did a good job on a spot, after you paint it you will see where you messed up. If somethign looks very bad and you arnt happy with it, get it buffed, theres a chance a run may come right out. If you get overspray on your windows dont worry about it, after its been done a while, put some paint thinner on a rag and get something to scrape with and it will come right off.

if you need anymore info ask.
