Thanks and happy New Year !
Do as much as you can on your own to prepare the car for painting.
Lots of info out there when you look for it.
Basics:
Wash the car
Take off whatever chrome, handles, lights, bumpers, emblems that you can. They hide dirt and are difficult to mask.
Wipe the entire surface to be painted with a grease and wax remover.
Sand the entire surface to be painted, and wash the car again.
