Thanks guys. I'm about to start on the body work so I'll let you know when I start spraying.

As someone who owns a production volume body shop, if you are going to go single stage, and have little experience, stick with a solid color, stay away from pearls and metallics as they can mottle (highs and lows in the way the metallics and pearls lay). As Dave mentioned above, read the instructions carefully, follow them 100%, and make sure you have an excellent respirator as what you are spraying can kill you. Safety over everything else.

Josh,
Best wishes for college! If you can find good independent local paint shop that is not too big you can get a wealth of help there for nothing, or next to nothing, and you may even find someone there that will come to your place on paint day to help out for a little cash. They can also help you understand the instructions in simple terms.
