Ok, say you come to the conclusion that hammering out your own dents, priming and blocking the panels ...and, yeah, shooting the paint too, is a little too much to take on.

So does that mean you'll necessarily have the ugliest car around, even after it is painted? Even if you can't afford some of the equipment needed for paint and bodywork, most anyone who is out of prison and employed can probably afford all the stuff needed to wet-sand and polish a car. As we pointed out earlier, even a mediocre paint job can be made to look great, so it's reasonable to suggest that with enough care, a cheap paint job can be cut and buffed to look pretty good.
