Why don't you prep it, take all the trim off you dont want painted and get a $250 paint job from Maaco? Alot easier to deal with later when you CAN afford a decent paint job. Try sanding rattle can paint off when you want a good paint job. Job will cost you 3 times as much because now you have a PO'ed painter.
I agree for the most part, only because dust is going to be an issue regardless of which DIY method used. If there was a garage involved, I'd say go for it. I've seen dozens of rolled paint jobs outshine and outlast Maaco's base packages but for $100 or so more, he won't have dust and bugs in his paint.
