I'll definitely agree on the bodywork prep being the biggest part.I'll also agree about the long rear half of the body being prone to rippling, mine looked near perfect after my 1999' paint job, but is showing some rippling again, of course I have colorsanded & buffed black paint to highlight anything.
You can do decent paintwork at home though, my front end was a late night(s) rush job under a carport,pics in photobucket. With solid colors, you can take a small break at the end of a panel to let a small compressor recover.If you want really straight bodywork , skimming the whole thing with quality filler like evercoat rage or the new Quantim product & blocksanding off what you don't need will make a big difference. Then use a good 2-k primer & block it before the duplicolor.
