Painted the doors, front fenders, hood and windshield frame of an old Jeep YJ I had. I made a booth from 2x4s and clear plastic in the driveway and purchased the primer, paint and clear coat online. I used cheap harbor freight HVLP sprayers and a run of the mill home use air compressor with a water separator. Didn't have much in the whole set up. I was meticulous with the prep work and took my time wet sanding and buffing. It wasn't easy work, but I enjoyed it and had the satisfaction that I did it myself and it turned out excellent. I'd encourage you to try it. Be meticulous in your prep, strain your paint and thin it accordingly, set your gun up and test it before you spray. Also, buy a few of the cheap HVLP sprayers. I cleaned them well, but used a different gun for the primer, base paint and clear coat.
