Default Help Me Paint My Own Car.....

alright, well id like to start being able to paint my own stuff and id like to eventually paint my own car before summer, i have lots of spare bumpers around the house to practice on but i have none of the necessary tools or experience with painting, i know its 90% prep work but i dont know exactly all the prep work thats necessary for a nice job, anyways what supplies will i need to totally prep a car and paint it. Any books or videos on how to prep and paint a vehicle? Id like to start painting it piece by piece once winter has passed, going with rx8 blue. Im not gonna rush into it and do a shitty job, ill actually start prepping the car sometime in the nxt few weeks to get an early start.

compressor: which brand and how big..
paint gun: which brand is best for the money?
which sand paper
bondo...
fiberglass...
i already have an auto-sander and dremel tool

what is used to strip the old oem paint?
