It is possible to do a great DIY job if you buy good equipment and practice first.

I resprayed an airplane in my garage. Turned out really nice except for a run that developed on an underside of the fuselage.

I spent $450 for a decent HVLP sprayer and another $400 for the presurized suit fresh air suppy.

Built a plastic tent inside the garage and it worked out alright. I practiced quite a bit though beforehand.

I saved myself about $8000 and now have equipment for my next project
