If this is going to be your only build why buy the comperssor/gun just pick up some automotive finish from auotparts warehouse of soem sort.

But i would sand it with some 180/400 then prime it, then block/sand the primer down then prime it up again then 400 whole working surface, blow off, make a blanket box or some type of wind free enviorment, start spraying, 2-3 coats, then finishs it with some clear 2-3 coats. wetsand your runs out if any and your good.

Yah, I got a project.
