I think you will find it's going to be VERY expensive to do. Might be a bit less expensive if you do the surface prep. And you can have it sprayed with the smooth texture material instead of the textured.
If it were done in sections (for example, flat sides first, then nose, then roof) with plenty of overlap to allow for cracking at the joints, it might work pretty decent.
