do you think i should stay with that site or do you thing i should go use different paint brandok I’m not planning to get that compressor that is the compressor i have and it works great for us we have had it about 3 years and we use the heck out of it a lot running it about 6 to 7 hours grinding but i someone said something about i need to get a dryer or something whats a good one that don’t cost much i know the more money you spend the better but im really only painting my truck and like i said before i do want to spend $1000 oh something that i will use once
Im not planning on using a grinder i do my sanding with a block and hand
and for what my conditions are by using my garage with plastic put up and not great but ok ventilation what
a good primer i should use
a good sealer be
a good base color i was planing on using this one http://www.paintforcars.com/aep_metblack.html

I don’t have a lot of money to spend on this and so please show me cheap but good stuff and i don’t me the cheapest but the good stuff that isn’t that much

Thanks for the help so far
I’m not really that scared of this to much i know what I am doing spraying wise. this isn’t my first time spraying painting a car. So I got that i just need help picking out the paint and what tips i need and what to sand with.
I’m not all a beginner that y’all think i am.ok so what would a good primer for me to use
if im in a regular garage with plastic put up and what kind of tip do i need for the gun and what grit sand paper do i need to use before spraying the primer and after the primerwell the paint has some chips in it down to the metal in some places what do i do about that
well im replacing all the fenders and hood and hood mounts
the first think though is what grit sand paper do i need to start sanding with and end with before the primeri know I’m doing all that i want to do it as right as possible
everything is fine its the hood that is the only thing out of alignment and thats cause off the mounts and that one fender is twisted
and no im going to get rid of that color completely thats why im painting it
im making it metallic blackHere are some pictures and all of the body damage to the car but I’m planning on putting all new panels on the front (both side quarter panels, and hood)
the car has no rust at all
when my mom bought the truck the body was perfect i caused the damage when i went off the road into a 3 ft ditch and the front end flexed and went back in place the frame is fine.I am a real fast learner and i get things real easy just first got to know what to do and how to
