To answer your question, I have spray painted a car before in my garage, not the prettiest but was a lot better than before I purchased it. At this point , I will leave the final painting to the professionals since it is a lot better to have a spray booth with the right temperature for curing and dust / dirt is more controlled.
I have learned my lesson well, been fooled before. So with my toys , I make it a point that if I know I can do one thing, then I will do it. A sense of accomplishments and it is so gratifying aside from the fact that you save tons of money.
I never knew a thing about cars , but I believe with determination, common sense, some skills and knowledge , right tools and with all the available informations online, a DIY guy can do a lot of things by his own. I have worked on my MKIV's engines which should have been done by the professionals and have been very successful. A lot of informations now available at our disposal that will enable us to do stuff ourselves if we want to.

There are still minor dings and dents I will need to work on this week before it is really ready for an overall painting by the professionals. Well, doing your own body work helps you save a lot of money . With the right tools it ain't hard at all.
