anyone body guys know of a good book or website or something that tells you how to use a spray gun to paint cars/ parts/interior pieces etc... I need to know what exactly to buy and how to adjust settings as far as if its humid or what kind of paint to use.

Heh. I'd tell you to go to school to learn how to do it, like I'm doing.

Reading a book about painting is a great way to learn the technical stuff about painting. But after you read the books(and anything else you can get your hands on) you should go to the junkyard and get a hood or a fender or whatever to practice on. Practice is the only way you will get a better understanding about what you've read. Don't worry when you mess up at first because you will be messing up for a while but you will learn alot from your mistakes.

I have to agree with 95sthatch, practice makes perfect man.... my best tip to you is never go cheep with your paint or equipment, and dont rush.

I'm gonna get pics of my car up here soon when its finished
