Hey folks, I've been throwing around the idea of painting the civic this summer. It needs body work, and afterwards I'd like to paint it the factory white color, clear coat, etc.

I was just wondering what advice you guys have on how to go about doing this. What kind of compressor will I need (will probably have to rent one), what kind of spray gun will I need? This will likely be done in my brother's garage (or my parents'), so what steps can I take to make a decent booth to protect their garages? Any other thoughts or concerns?

I thought about going the rustoleum route, but I think I'd prefer the paint to match under the hood and in the door jambs, etc. I'm not willing to take the entire car apart to paint it.
