could it be worth getting a spray can from halfrauds and getting it done that way as they are only small?

mate as said above its a lambo colour , and as its a lambo colour , it is not going to be easy to spray , if i remember right , it has 7 layers of peral , so unless it trully is a crap spray job , as long as its orange id be happy as your never going to get it 100% right , matalic paint just dont work like that! post a pic up
