I did mine in the driveway
I did the body work, stripped it ,put on the stinger hood and painted it.
Color sanded. and buffed it all in the driveway last July. If you have some patience and stay off the edges you can do it yourself, Use a dual speed buffer and about every 2 minutes use a screwdriver on the pad to keep it clean. The trick to not burning the paint is to keep moving and keep the pad clean. Wet sand with 1200 grit. Use lots of water.
Looks real good you did a nice job.
