Basecoat - clearcoat systems are very easy and forgiving, you could do it.
Try the hood i'll bet it turns out great. I'll walk you thru it step by step if you want.
You can order gloss black very cheap online, black is black.
BTW, I'm painting with the cheapest Chinese Devilbiss (startingline model) HVLP gun $100 on ebay new. It's not a Sata but it does the job fine.
Go for it and try painting the hood but remove it and mark hinge location to hood.
You can practice on an old fender first.

hey fixer,,the pattern you are seeing on the hood is striping,,,your starting line gun is not spraying evenly or you are arking your gun incorrectly,most likely it is your gun though,horizontal painting is much different than a vertical surface,,,,you should practice on and old hood first,,,,the striping is caused by a heavier flow of paint hitting the surface in that area,,a slight adjustment of your wrist could correct that if your gun is spraying evenly,,,keep your spray pattern even,,,the gun has to travel across the area to be painted evenly,,you may even have a dirty cap,,,test panels will show your spray pattern
