I painted my Cobra. I had never picked up a spray gun B4. Read a book, practiced on an old hood. I had to sand and re-shoot one of the doors because of a run, but overall the paint turned out great. No spray booth so it did have a couple of dog hairs that got into the paint. I used a $150gravity feed gun, basecoat/clearcoat. Total paint materials were about $700. For teh cost savings and if you have the time and patience, you can do a great job in your garage. I get lots of satisfaction out of knowing that I did the paint myself. Since then I have repaired & painted the tailgate on my daughter's jeep after a minor parking lot incident, which saved $. Now I'm getting ready to fix & paint the rear quarter on my wife's Denali....
