Yep from what I’ve read I’ll have to do the full body in a single shot after spending several hundred man hours sanding down the old paint job and prepping the surface. I’m hoping in Southern California’s weather I won’t have much problem with rust between the prep and actual painting.
I don’t care so much about getting the matching perfect - “it was my first time” is a perfectly cromulent excuse in my social circles - but I do want the paint job to be good enough so that I’m not redoing it every year or two (I hate sanding). What should I exepct?

In most ways, it's much harder to do a one-off repaint of an assembled vehicle. Only advise I can give is to get some cheap paint and some kind of panels and start practicing.
