From my limited experience I would say that if you can manage to get the truck primed and sanded properly, and you presently have moderate ambient temperatures, there is no reason that you couldn't shoot the final paint and wet sand/cut/buff it yourself. I realize that people fear orange peel, but if you follow the directions with the paint, I think that it is fairly rare to have a case of it that is so bad that you can't wet sand smooth. I would love to hear of others' experience with this in their own garage... I have never gotten orange peel so bad that it was a serious problem.
