That electric gun would be a waste of time IMO. You would get a door done then need to refill, thats if the paint gets through the nozzle, lol. When it comes to paintjobs you could try prepping it yourself to save some pennies but i'd get a bodyshop to do the paintwork. And yes poor prep would lead to a poor finish.
