a good website for body work?

My car is in desperate need of paint. I am going to just replace the OEM color, but I wanted to do all the prep work myself. In high school I worked for a body shop and did a bunch of prep and think I can do a quality job, but I always had someone telling me what to do next and let me know when there were issues that needed to be addressed. Also, its been 10 years and I definitely need some reminders of best practices. Does anyone know a good source to read about all the steps involved and the issues that need to be addressed?

The paint and bodywork forum here is also good: Paint & Bodywork Discussion Forum - Pelican Parts Technical BBS

Lots of people with interesting projects.
