na you need a real gun..... doesnt have to be expensive gun.... little cheap 20dollar gun will be ok start. but the cheap guns wont last as long. main thing is clean the gun really good after each job. if its not cleaned really good even the best gun can spray like crap!

for that type of paint job you might want to wait until you can get the compressor. Also for best results, if painting an entire car, you will want at least 5hp and 60 or more gallons.

you dont have to have a large compressor. it helps but not needed. youd just have to work around with a smaller unit. main thing youd have to keep an eye on is your pressure! you dont want to be spraying paint with to low of a pressure. but if you keep an eye on it and section the paint areas up you can be alright.
hell you painted yours didnt ya....

im just lucky that my dad has a very large compressor and its never let us down.
