Although this link is about painting cars, it applys to what you may want to do.

Painting Your Own Car

Good information about sprays guns to use, pros and cons of each, etc... and much more information.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

yah you dont need a high end spray gun to paint a box. if you just want a matching color to your car, wal-mart and other automotive places have spray cans of car makers matching paint.. be sure you sand very good and smooth or it wont matter what kind of paint you have... here Lowes has spray guns that would be suiable for that type of painting.
