I recently saw some photos of a boat that had been taken to an auto body shop to have two-part polyurethane finish sprayed. They were able to match the color desired perfectly and used less expensive auto/truck/industrial finish rather than normally higher priced marine paint. It came out looking great.

As long as the prep work is done, it's an easy mask and paint job. You might be able to find a good shop to paint for you too. It probably wouldn't cost too much more to have a professional spray job by the time you purchase material and equipment required to do it yourself.
