search, there is a lot of really good info on this site about body/paint.

also, go to your local library and check out a body/paint book.

My recommendation is find a shop that will spray the car for cheap if you do the prep work yourself. That will help cut the cost a lot as you do most of the work.

If you do want to do it all yourself I would not paint it black. It will really show every flaw and I'm assuming you have no experience, so there will be many.
