Thanks all for the info. As far as doing it myself,
I've got a compressor and spray gun, but have been
told that auto paint is really nasty and needs lots
of environmental stuff to spray it safely. Not to
mention pulling dents, filling gouges, etc. Maybe
I'll enroll in a community college autobody class.
I'd like to get Ambo #1 back together as soon as
possible -- it's prime riding season here in
seattle :), besides my sidecar kit just arrived
and I'm eager to get to it. So, I think I'll let
the pros do ambo #1 and maybe I'll try and do the
paintwork myself on ambo #2. It's in a much more
erm...natural...state than #1 so I've got plenty
of time to futz with paint on it.
