Your right on the money there. If somebody is enclined to do the prep work then 
like I said, the easy part is the actual painting. 
If your car has really minor dings and you know how to spread frosting on a 
cake, then you can probably fix those small problems and prep the whole car for 
painting. (ya well, I know its a little more involved than that...) 
Thanks for saying what I forgot to say, twice!
