Paint for a green 92 900S Vert

My 92 900S Convertible is in really good shape, paint and body wise. In fact, most people seem to think it's new. (The odd body shape helps, I am sure.) Anyway, the only trouble spot is the hood. It must not been kept waxed because it it chalky and checked, and getting worse. My local body shop quoted me $750 to sandblast and repaint it, plus paint the cowl under the windshield, which is also chalky and faded.
So, I have been thinking about trying it myself. And if I don't like it, I can always pay the $750 later and have them do it.
So... any input? I would have to rent a sprayer, and pay to have it sandblasted. Is it wsorth it? Or will it just look like crap?
I do have faith in my use of a sprayer, so that doesn't worry me. I welcome all inout. Thanks in advance!
