I've sprayed two cars in my garage so far, the first one with a little craftsman 30 gallon compressor. Just take your time and prep, prep ,prep. Your'e space can never be too clean. You may want to practice on a spare panel. Use some kind of air filtration for your air compressor and get an HVLP gun. As for the clear, it needs to lay down wet, but not so wet that it runs/drips. This may take a little practice. You will need to wetsand and buff the car out after your'e done. I have always used 3M products (compound and hand glaze) and a high speed buffer with really nice results. I'm not a proffesional and basically taught myself. If I can do it, so can you. It just takes lots of patience and a little research. Good luck!!
