Doing the prep work yourself is well worth the time needed, that way you know it was actually done right. If you're just repainting the car the same color there will be alot less work involved, and you may not need to completely recover the entire car.
We recently did a second paint job on an old Fairlane. It was about 9 year old paint and pretty rough. We sanded it down, and went over the car looking for rust, and any trouble spots. We ended up spot priming and doing two coats of color, then a few clear. This was done in a regular garage, no booth. We wetsanded the car after the paint was applied and again after each clear. It came out like glass and we were more than pleased with the results. Cost my buddy just a little over a grand for paint.
