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.

When I did mine i used smartshoppersinc.com. They had a good deal on urethane and clear and primer; it all came in a kit, which was nice for me because I was starting from the beginning. Fortunately, I was able to borrow my dad's gun and compressor. Just like everyone else was saying, make sure you do the prep work well the first time and then sand out the runs and everything and give it a good buff afterwards. Coomer did a really good thread on how he did his too, I really liked it. Good luck man!
