Not much experience in spraying but have done a Land Rover and a moped, both from bare metal, the Land Rover in bronze green had slight orange peal to the finish in places, but this could have been buffed out and the moped in matt black came out more or less perfect. I used a small touch up spray gun as it is lighter and easier to control than the normal sized spray gun, I mixed up small batches of paint accurately as I went along in both cases. Have a good play around with the spray gun to set it up and set the pressure on the compressor to a couple of PSI between on and off and add at least one water trap into the spray line, once you are happy with the spray jet and the distance to hold the gun away from the job its pretty simple to get a reasonable finish. With the Land Rover I sprayed more or less a panel at a time working around the car. The self etch primer and primer are easy to do, by applying multiple thin coats, when dry check for any imperfections rub down, fill to correct, then apply the top coat again in multiple thin layers and slowly building up the paint. If it all goes wrong with the top coat it can always be rubbed down and redone, you can buy a hell of a lot of paint for £1000 to £1500!
