Firstly, I'd say prep is 65%, painting is 25% and flatting/polishing is 10%.

I don't think this is a good idea. The materials you'd need for a proper job are illegal to spray without a filtered booth. I have never used acrylic paint, all I use is base/clear. The hardener in the clearcoat is carcinogenic.

I have to go out. I'll comment again another time if you choose to go ahead with it.
