Lets start with what kind of gun do you have? HVLP, RP,....?

Well, there is not much painting on this site, we are more for after the painting. You could try a site like this. Auto body and car paint tips, techniques, and information

you need at least a 60 gallon two stage compressor. with that you will also need a filter to trap the moisture, and probably a desiccant snake. Some other things you will need are body filler, putty, primer, masking paper, tape, razors, tack cloths, mixing pails and sticks, proper ventilation system, proper lighting, a carbon mask if you're not gonna buy a fresh air system, rags, reducer, wax and grease remover.
