Not much. I had a MK3 that I painted before and it came out perfect. I also have 2 cousins that have small body shops and I've helped them out alot, and watched them a zillion times. If you prep well (very hard part), the painting is common sense if its a simple color like white. Same with the clear just get it even, be patient and don't over spray (runs) and you'll be fine. Put it like this, the worst case is that you have to pay someone to paint it anyway if you mess it up, but what if you don't!
