Pros will shoot it with spray gun and with proper pre work. The difference is definitely noticeable, pro job will come out as smooth as OEM, if done correctly. But 350 is waaay to much.

Good job!

I painted mine DIY for maybe $15-$20 in supplies. It looks absolutely perfect and there is no reason to send it somewhere to be done unless you are either inept at DIY or can find a reasonable price like ^

the trick to having it look pro is, after painted do some color sanding on it with fine sand paper, and that will finish it.
