fiberglass re-finishing

[Salty]

My daughter wants a new fiberglass shower/tub enclosure for her bathroom. I ain't fixin' to start no tearin' out, so, I'm lookin' into re-finishing this one. A dood did 2 today at a job I'm working on and, although it turned out pretty good, he shot friggin' overspray all over the place. He charges $675 per unit. I'm thinkin' about tacklin' this, myself. The only equipment needed is an HVLP sprayer and I just happen to have one of the best. Anybody ever tackled this? It's more than just a piece o' cake.
