Painting Supplies? Options

[lagos]

I'm thinking about picking up a cheap spray gun from Harbor Freight and painting a few small things like fenders, to fix some small dents that I've gotten over the years.
Does anyone here have any experience with doing this? Whats a good place for painting supplies? Is it even possible to get good results from a DIY job? I've done some bondo and spray paint work in the past that can look fairly good once its properly wet sanded and buffed. Now I think I'm ready to move on to a real spray gun.

I've had good results with the sprayer I received from Dipyourride.com

Its not the traditional gravity feed compression sprayer, but the vacuum plug in type. Does a really nice job, but I'm no expert on the matter. I still think any sprayer used will require some wet sanding and buffing though.

If interested I can provide the model and such when I get home. Can't recall it all atm.
