Not crazy-----certainly, " ambitious"
Not meant to discourage you, but the ability to shoot primer does not equate to the ability to shoot topcoat. They are very different animals. Primer is very forgiving; glossy finishes are not. While you are transferring parts, gain some experience in shooting topcoat on the old body. Don't waste a lot of time on prep. Just scuff it up and shoot. Vary the gun pressure and the viscosity of the paint in small stages and observe the finished product. I find usung a basecoat/ clear coat process easier for garage painters like me. You can lay down the color in with a fast drying Base and only have to watch the coverage and the metallic (if used) pattern. The gloss comes in a seperate step, so all you do at that time is watch for the gloss. Its real tough for anyone but painters who shoot several times a week ( day?), to develop the ability to balance paint coverage, mettalic pattern, and gloss without getting runs and sags.
Painting is probably about 90% prep and only 10% painting, but the prep determines the results.
