you will need at the least a 5.5 hp compressor 6.5 to 7 hp would be better . home depot has some for a good price . you will need a spray gun made for auto painting 1.3 to 1.6 tip on the spray gun will work . because your in CAL. you will have to use waterborn paint . i would not recommend that for you if its your 1st time spraying auto paint . i would order dupli.color if you don't care if its the OE color . its cheap drys fast and very ez to use being a lacquer based paint . don't spray lacquer if its raining or in humid weather it will blush . you can sand out the OE finish with some 220 paper then use dupli.colors primer after the primer drys sand it with 500 or 600 wet then top coat with what ever color you want . when it comes to rust there are many ways to handle that . you can spot sand blast with a 30 dollar spot blaster and 001 sand . get some spray can etch primer and spot prime over the bare metal with it then use the lacquer primer over that . get a spray mask for auto painting there about 25 dollars . because lacquer is just a little safer than todays auto paints you don't have to go to nuts with safety things . you will want to cover your self with long sleeves and pants but you don't really need a paint suit . the total cost to do this type of a paint job will cost about 600 to 700 dollars for paint and all the materails . if you want to use top grade or mid grade products the cost will go up to 2500 to 3500 dollars plus .
