Answer
Hi Tony,

First of all you will need to have all the appropriate tools to do the job. You will need such tools as an air compressor (5 hp, 60 gal capacity, 15 cfm @ 40 psi), spraygun, hoses, fittings, etc... Then you will need to go to an automotive paint store and buy paint. You can talk to the salesmen about your specific needs and they should be able to point you in the right direction as to what type of paint would best fit your needs. Good luck.
