My suggestion would be to practise on a few panels prior to doing the car, spraying your own can can be pretty straight foward but also a painful experience if not done correctly. A hvlp gun in preferable.

Make sure you pay a lot of attention to the prep work, prep work is 90% of the job.

What kind of primer have you used and what paint are you using?

There is a place in Sydney called vg autos that sells auto paint supplies, they run monthly workshop meetings for guys like you with no experience. Highly recommended for the beginner.
