Painting Your Own Car
So when searching Google I got about 40 million results, and it's just hard to narrow them all down.
So what are some good videos, websites, books, or anything (free or paid for) to get me on the right start to painting my own car?
Edit - Here's something kind of interesting I stumbled upon, a $50 DIY Paintjob:

and

Neither of those cares turned out bad at all.

holy crap that 50 dollar paintjob looks real good. did he put a clear coat on it or just buff it out really nice?
I always wanted my car black.. if i could paint it myself over the summer and save so much money that would be awesome.

Of course you aren't going to get a show quality paint job, but you will definitely get a good paint job at a very reasonable price.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to try this myself.

I'm not an expert on the roller method, but I've read a magazine article or two about it. The cars I read about it being used on were from the 1960s, like Novas or Impalas or something. So they were fairly flat and lacked very many difficult spots. I really, really, really can't imagine ANY success in rolling the headlight buckets, CAMARO lettering in the rear, or the underside of the spoiler if you don't remove it first. I don't think I trust this method, it seems like a poor quality redneck idea.

Looks like I'm just going to have to build a booth and buy the equipment. Wish me luck.
