Spray Painting / Air Compressor Advice

I have read a few threads on Air Compressors and for spraying cars in Acryllic paint and they have suggested that 12-14 cfm in about a 50 litre tank will do the trick.
I have been having a look around at compressors and have found that GMC has a 24L 2HP 7.3 cfm @ 80-115 psi compressor for $97 and a 40L 2.5HP 7.3 cfm compressor for $199 at bunnings. Ive read that compressors can be connected together to increase the flow rate.
So could 2 $99 compressors be connected to effectively make a 48L 14.6cfm 4HP compressor for $200? What fittings/piping would i need to use to connect the 2 together, and where abouts would i go to get them, as i didn't see any at bunnings. Would this go well compared to 1 bigger and more expensive compressor?
For spray painting panels, and maybe the whole car, what type of gun and nozzle would people suggest? When spraying a car in the same color, is it nessescary to strip back to bare metal or would it go just as well to sand back the paint and then primer over the top or just paint straight over the top?
If you get this far, thanks for reading and any help you can give.
