you can get some cheap spray guns, they will work out ok, but cleaning is the biggest part. They get glogged really bad if your not carefull, i have a decent craftsman compressor and two run of the mill sprayers i just need somewhere to paint at, im probly gonna end up building a temp booth out of 2x4 and thick mil plastic, probly wont be the best but we'll see.

or you could come up to our shop, and rent out our paint booth, well even help you tape it off,we can show you the proper steps in cleaning a car before paint in case you had some other way of doing it like with simple green or something, and give you some pointers and help painting if its your first time. youll get a hella cleaner and way better paint job than setting up a temp booth. and with people who know what the deal is, youll get a better paint job for sure.
