I've sprayed a few cars now. The best job I did was no my TA22 GT that you can see on my site.
I wrote a section on painting that might help.
http://users.chariot.net.au/~stmezz/paint.htm

I always use acrylic and as you can see you can get excellent results. You need a minimum 8cfm compressor with moisture trap, I use a suction feed gun with 2mm tip and 275kpa pressure. Works great. Also you need to thin out the paint enough to get a good finish. I use around 30% paint and 70% thinners.
The gun I use for final coats is an Iwata W77 with 1 litre pot, had it for years and its a great gun.

Yes, 2Pac is easier to use and more durable etc. BUT unless you have a booth and all the gear forget about using it. Without the right safety gear its nasty stuff.

Hoep this helps,
Simon
