Pocketaces is correct in the fact that the more the you spend on prep the better the paint job comes out. Sand, sand, sand and then sand some more. The smoother the base is the better the overall paint will look. I am a very amature painter but have had some decent results. Base/clear is very east to shoot The base coat goes on and dries quickly so it makes it easy to repair a spot before you shoot the clear on if you run it. Pretty hard to run though. Clear is a little trickier as you have to find that fine line between too dry and runs. Getting in a hurry only gives you problems to take care of later. Paint boot is nice but a nice paint job can be done in a garage or even a temporary setup outside.
Not the greatest pic but I shot this in a makeshift booth at work (wet the floors and dropped a couple of tarps down from the ceiling)
This one I cannot take credit for, my brother painted it. It was painted in a home garage and the bed was shot outside the garage on some saw horses.
Point is don't be afraid to give it a shot. The worse that can happen is you will have to sand some more
