From an older auto body repairman and painter: If you don't have any equipment, such as a fair sized air compressor, an air supply breathing system, a decent spray gun or two, and no first hand knowledge of body work, preparations for painting, or what paints to buy or not much else about the task at hand--i think you'd better have somebody else do the job! Either that, or get a job in an auto/ truck body repair shop, and learn all you can! After 5-10 years, you'll be well prepared to do one for yourself! And, your compressor has to put out a bunch of cubic feet per minute or more, so yer looking at a fair sized air compressor! Remember--it aint how high the compressor will pump the pressure--no-no, its cubic feet per minute (Air recovery) Write to CNKS. or some others may fill you in on what to buy, but it will probably cost as much to buy the equipment you'll need, as to have it done by a shop! And, with no experience, all it will take is 1 "goof" and yer work will have to be done over! HTH: Rustyj
