Default Paint help.

So, I need to get some body work done or possible a new door for my CD5 Accord and I figured I'll just get the whole thing repainted since the clear is peeling on the roof. Most likely going to have the body work done at a body shop, and going to spray it myself, or find someone else to...unless body shops spray customer supplied paints, depending on how much it'll come out to. Now, the question is, have any of you had any past experiences with tcpglobal, paintforcars, and autopaintpro?

Here are the 3 I'm wondering about.

Oh, and I'm going with Candy Apple Red. =] Right now it's Bordeaux Red Pearl (R-78P).

have you done any painting in the past?
I would not recommend painting the entire car. It is a HUGE undertaking and not worth it.

i did alot of research on this stuff awhile back, most of what i got is the paint itself is pretty decent but its the hardener and reducer that is crap, most say if you gonna go this route your better off to spring for some brand name hardener and reducer, read alot of stuff about they paint not curing properly and so on

Nope. Not with a gun anyway. But I was gonna practice first of course. Besides, like I said before it needs to be painted due to bodywork and peeling. Otherwise I'd just buff it and leave it the same color.
