Catalina Dave,
Take your time and do it yourself. I have painted many cars at home and its not bad at all, prep is the killer. In my humble opinion, I would not take it down to bare metal unless you have to. Go as far as the factory primer and stop. Build up from there.
Also instead of going into the never ending sanding pit, get out a razor scraper and work some areas. Take your time and you'l be amazed how much paint will come off. So often the party that painted it before used short cuts and never obatained proper adhesion.
