Ok first off i got a set of DeVillibiss paint guns, 1.8 for priming and a 1.4 for base and clear, at SpraygunDepot.com. They were around 250 for the set. Maybe a little much for you but i use mine. Second, you will need to creat adheasion on the plastic so i would suggest some plastic adhesion promoter and scuffing up the plastec with a scotch brite. Now paint wise there are many types of brands but i woud suggest PPG or Dupont. Also you are correct that you do need an air compressor. I hope that this helps you out.
