I'd go for it then. I've never shot anything(paint wise), so I have zero confidence. $5500 sounds about right these days.

It is just like anything else, read up then jump in and practice. Find an old hood or fender. Don't save money on a gun, get a quality unit. It is basically just learning how to adjust the gun, how to move the gun (too close, too far, too fast, parallel with the body instead of an arc). One option you might think of is if there is a community college near you that offers body work classes you can sometimes sign up for night classes to learn the basics. I learned all my basic body work skills from an old timer that ran the Ft. Hood Hobby Shop in 1972. He didn't believe in plastic except as a final skim. Also buy good body tools, not the Harbor Freight stuff that dents and chips, I've found lots of good old tools at yard sales and used tool places.
