2 pac with an anti scratch clear is probably going to be a lot more durable than a standard enamel finish from the likes of Vaz ect. Good paint is ALWAYS expensive!! My mates a pro painter (motorsport) and I've seen him taking a hefty Snap On to paint and no serious damage (nothing that couldn't be very easily repaired).Thickness is not an issue as the paint goes on in thin layers, it all depends how many layers of base coat you want to put down. He says 4-6 base coats is a standard for motorbike painting.
Sand blasting is pretty straight forward, and can be done in a home made enclosure no problem. You just need the space.
