Doubtfull.
In order for a sprayer to do a good job, The enviroment needs to be a specefic Temerature, and it needs to be shut off from the outside etc.
Your best off trailering it to the bodyshop.

Mobile painters are a complete waste of time. Painting outside is never a good idea lads, you get what you pay for and if want a top quality job doing which I guess you do then you’ll be very disappointed with the finished result.
Most mobile painters aren’t qualified in the trade and buy into a franchise and get some training from the company. Bodyshops like mine don’t buy spray booths for the fun of it, booths are their for a reason, to be painted in.

At the end of the day it’s up to you, but no way would I paint a car in someone’s garage, to many risks involved.

Do you have flame proof lights in your garage?
If not then one spark from a light switch / lighting unit can cause an explosion, I’m not saying it will but it can. All professional booths have flame proof lights and sealed / flame proof extraction fans.
