hi mical...
i used 2 stage compressor (craftsman)
hvlp gravity feed spray gun from harbor freight (got it for xmas)
and 3 stage paint system from napa (primer - base - clear)
do yourself a favor and do the proper prep work...
and get a booth when applying your paint...
because i painted mine in the back yard (very early in the morning) i got some
unwanted crap in my paint... but it turned out way better than i could ever
hoped for. honest! every time i take my car for a spin, i get complements up
the wazoo... "that looks great! is it new?" or "is that a new type of mg?" ;)
seriously, take your time... make sure everything is clean... mix the paint
properly and get someone to run the hose as you paint.
good luck =]
