if you want to paint you car you need paint.

pick a paint, and the tech sheet will advise what sandpaper to use, hardener, activator, everything.

a gallon should be enough to paint most vehicles

go to http://www.autobody101.com and search up on what kind of guns to use. the compressor you use must be able to support the minimum CFM of your gun.

have you decided what paint you want to use yet?

for instance, i decided to use Omni paint. so i went to Omni's website, looked up the type of paint i wanted to use (MAE) and clicked the "tech sheet" link.
