Re: What does it really take to paint a truck?
3m accuspray gun with the pps system is excellent.
I wouldn't buy a bunch of stuff you wont need for a while. Start with what you need right now to get to work. Too many people follow the same method when building a truck and part way through they end up selling everything and loosing a ton of money.
If you cant invest in a space to work (dedicated to this) and a large compressor (depending on the gun you use I wouldn't go less than about 16 cfm @ 90 psi), do not undertake this. A compressor is an investment, don't buy the bare minimum. The price to value really doesn't get good until about the ~$1000 range. Tractor Supply has sales on their IR compressors. You can get the 80 gal 2 stage for under 1000 which is a great deal for a quality unit. Its over 18 cfm I think.
By the way, I saw your thread on your truck. Ill send you a PM as an FYI
