Another option if this is scary to try, doing the prep and putting an ad in craigslist for a shooter. Asking car club members if they have anyone that can spray could help too. The labor is in the prep, spraying really doesn't take any time, most of it waiting in between coats. You can rent a compressor, the vader guns at northern were actually not bad for junk. A 1.4 tip for paint, larger for primer, sealer can go through the 1.4. If you are worried about finger sanding, this pad is excellent, much better than 3M's. I have thousands of dollars in tools, dozens of sanders, I always hand wet sand before paint. I have a bunch of those pads and use them even though I know how to sand.
Most of all, ask! Knowing how is most of the battle. Also, do not trust paint store people, they generally have no clue how to use the stuff they sell, or even know what works best. There is a paint rep for each brand in your area, but most will not waste time with you, even though they are paid to. Stay away from dupont stuff, it's junk, I wouldn't paint a dog house with it. Basf is good stuff, but costly, the limco line is the low line and still expensive. We used diamont and glasurit, we kicked ppg out when they fired out friends, it still remains my favorite paint. We kicked dupont out as soon as we took over. As a last resort, auto parts stores have lacquer Dupli-Color on the shelves, it's very easy to spray, takes a lot of coats to build a film, and it's not durable at all.
If this is still scary and expensive, you can polish what you got. With care and the right polishes you can bring old paint back nicely, but you got to know what to do and the steps to do it in. One of our shops was such a shit hole we completely detailed every car to help build our reputation. Most of these cars hadn't looked that good since they left the lot.
