Hi, I'm a noob but you guys have saved me soooo much money..! :x
I've never painted a car before, I've only clear-coated a bit with cheap cans. I watched YouTube videos on the subject, and to my surprise my work turned out okay.
Encouraged, I'm now eager to try out actually painting a car with a gun and compressor. I have only watched 20 or so vids on the topic but I want to do the hands-on.
I want to just TRY IT OUT at first, and locally I have found a used compressor I can pick up for $50.
Is this model compressor basically okay for the purposes of painting a car?
It is an Alton AT-01205-11, which is 3 horsepower and 11 gallons of air volume.
If you have any experience, can you tell me which gun I might first try using..? I suspect I don't need whiz-bang gear, and I'm on a budget.
I'm going to include a photo of the compressor.
