Painting an 83 Cutlass

[Cutlass2181]

okay, so im pretty far a long in my project, and getting down to my last step, which is paint. i have partially prepped a car before, but i dont think i ddi a very good job painting is not my specialty. but one of my friends that is working on the project with me knows a little about prepping. i also have someone to apray the car, who used to paint. my only concern is the prep work. of course id like the car to be done as soon as possible and i dont want paint to hold it up. does anyone know of a good how to, and tips with pictures thread or something. also, what materials will i need. how much will a full paint job cost me?
