Streets ,
Acrylic Enamel is still a good product ( just the hardner is a killer)
But it makes it a far better product when added.

Sounds like you have a nice area to paint in as that makes all the difference in the world on having a quality paint job turn out.

Have you tried the newer Acrylic Urethane Single Stage Paint ?
Its alot better quality & the cost isnt that much higher then
Acrylic Enamels.

You can mix ( compatiable ), mixed clear with your mixed color to make it go farther & last longer.

I always hated the guys of yesteryear when they shot lacquer & cleared it with an enamel clear. What a mess it was when it came time to repair. Talk about 2 products that arent compatiable ....LOL

What I mean by proper equipment is a : Heat make up, Down draft booth, with all the correct filteration .Around here if you dont have this you dont get lacquer. Plus after you shoot it
the health department comes in & wants a 1 pound cut out of your exhaust filter for evaluation for VOC content.
