Not sure the lastest thoughts you have but I say paint it yourself. Very easy to learn and safe. Won't take long and can be done in many different types of workspaces . Just need good light and warm temps.
You could even rent a storage unit for a month and have plenty of time..
After prep and prime.
Use 1 part paint, roll on and tip with a good brush.
The key to a decent job imo is the control of the thickness of the paint when applying so that you don't leave brush marks when tipping off.
