I totally agree, you have invested in this the money, perfection is in the eye of the beholder much like beauty. Perhaps you are being too difficult on yourself, if you are striving for perfection, then practice will improve your skills until you can meet your own expectations.
The only other option is to switch (temporarily) to another project when you become frustrated. I have done that on one of my projects (actually I have done three other projects and am finishing up one now) before I get back to my "frustration".
