Auto body repair & detailing: Auto Painting, wagner spray painter, airless spraygun

Question
I have a 1987 Chev Caprice and want to paint it. I feel am a pretty good handy man around the house but have never painted a car. I have a Wagner spray painter that I use alot on the int & ext of house and I feel  I'm a pretty good spray painter. Can I use the Wagner? Also, could you please outline the basic steps in auto painting? And the do's and don'ts of auto painting? Where can I buy auto paint online? or What brands of auto paint are the best? Which brands should I avoid? What type of clear top-coat should I use? If I am careful, of course, do you recommend stripping fluid to take off old paint rather that sanding old paint to the metal? What kind of stripping fluid? Overall,  I don't expect a professional job from myself but rather just some new paint on my old Chev. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks  

Answer
First off you cannot spray automotive paint with a wagner airless spraygun. It simply wasnt desined for it. You would be better off rolling the paint on. Get a good auto spraygun ,an air compresor,hoses,  Doupont paint and clear and sealer are about the best. Do not strip the paint to the bare metal sand only. Buy the materials you need at your local auto paint supplier. For the best results

         Hope this helps
