If you are a novice, then you probably need some help. At a minimum you will need to find someone good to do the spray work, assuming you can do the prep and post finishing. I would find someone willing to work with you before you begin, as many professionals will balk at only doing half the job, and if you find someone, they will probably offer guidance on what level of prep they want and how to do it.

If we were doing a job like this, we would charge about $3000 for the cosmetic work, and additionally for any repairs that were needed before finishing.

Good luck!
