Are you expecting to pay them less than $50 for labor?
For that price you can buy two sprayers:

(then you will own them, ready for the next job)

Use single-stage factory code paint from internet (2 pints?) over well cured primer or it will crackle as the primer continues to shrink.
(need a plastic paint or flex additive I'd guess)

Rattle can also look decent if you're patient careful and apply enough but probably wont last on big flat parts that flex.
Did a couple mirrors with rattle that looked better than the OEM side and lasted when clearcoat used.
