Anyone have experience information reguardiing body paint?

okay, ive decided to respaint some of my bodykit. Im a daily driver, and its taken a toll on my kit. Scrapes and all kinds of crap everywhere. I dont have money for a quality shop to repaint my kit. I have a compressor. I just need some info. Even if the price of the equipment comes out to be greater then the cost to pay someone, i would have learned alot And can paint other things for my car in the future.

What is a good paintgun? affordable?
What are the procedures involved with mixing paint?
Is there any special instructions to paint ABS plastic (TYPE B FRONT)
Is there any special instructions to paint Black Urethane (G5 rear)
Painting procedure and Tips in general?

Thanks!

your better off having someone a shop do it. You need to re-prime and sand everything. It is hard.

Visit an auto paint distributor. They can walk you through the process, equipment and costs.
