Planning on my own paint job..., what supplies do i need? Options

[lx130]

Well.... im ordering my TRD replica wing tomorrow from erebuni, which is in need of some paint and off of that i decided why not just paint the whole car

Ive had past experience painting helping my dad paint bus grills for greyhoud ( i know random), one of his best friends works for grey hound, and my dad would fix the broken grills bondo and everything, so ive had some paint applying experience.

i got some dings, and fender dents, and hail damage on the hood(stupid chicago winter). and some weird paint chipping? i guess on my front bumer ill post a pic of it to show. really weird.

anyway... i was just wondering teh process in which i would have to go about and the supplies i would need. i already have an air compressor, two guns, face mask, and goggles, so ill look pro i just want some advice in what i should buy and whats good or bad

Paint: im gonna be gettin paint matched, at a shop with good rep, autowerks. http://www.e-autowerks.com/index.html

Paint supplies: this is where i need help, i kinda know what i need like primer, thinner, sand paper, body filler. but dont really know the specifics on what to get. anyone have a list, just a general list of what i need. then go to specific products from there.

yea ive read coomers thread.... was just wondering if there was anything he left out, and last time i checked its been a while since hes been on cuz he doesnt have his celi anymore....


for paint... i dont think ima use cans.......not a fan... getting two gallons paint matched from a shop, just gonna use spray can primer..maybe clear coat not sure.. but yea.. if spray can for my wing (comes in on friday:D) just for now... i might.. cuz im planning on a full paint job in the spring after the chicago winter passes...
