Painting!

I'm in the middle of building a wide arch rally car, cage is in, shells seam welded, generally ar**d about with. Now its time to paint it, which I'm going to do myself, space, heat, air and mask is covered, and im going to get some reasonalble guns, thinking both a gravity feed and a suction.

I'm only using base coat white 2 pack paint, nothing fancy!

What i want to know is what size nozzles do i need? I plan to paint hte whole car with hi-build, so do i need a bigger nozzle for this?

My plan was to primer whole car inside and out with the suction gun, then paint the inside with the suction gun, then do the top coat on the outside with the gravity gun as im told you get a better finish.

Has anyone got any tips? or suggestions? Moast the guns i've been looking at seem to be a 1.4mm tip!

Cheers
