Cost for decent automotive paint and supplies will probably set you back 500 dollars. On top of that, you will need to build a spray booth, get a respirator etc. Modern automotove paints can be extremely toxic, so spraying wihotut proper safety equipment is out of the question. How good will it look? Depends on how good of a painter you are, and how much prep work you put in.
decent auto paint will likely be more than $500. recently bought a PINT of paint for some trim on my truck and a pint for trim on my roadster. Cost, one was $140 the other $178 for a PINT of paint, add to that the cost of activator, etc. it's going to be spendy.
The very very bottom end paint I could find was a base enamel, it was $70 per pint. now it doesn't scale linearly, but you will need gallons of paint.
