Whats wrong with my minivan?

There is alot of work involved in painting a car. I highly recommend this issue of Hot Rod magazine. It'll give you an overview of the entire process. http://www.primediabackissues.com/mercha...
Hot Rod magazine also has a book that tells you how to paint your car, but I don't have it yet.
I'm hoping to be able to paint my old classic this coming summer. :D

Advice on my vauxhall corsa needed?

I suggest doing all of the prep work youself (the long part, but not all that hard), then sending it somewhere to be painted.
