Painting & prep (blasting, sanding, etc.) really pump up your air requirements. The minimum I would consider is something like the $499 60g at Lowes. HLVP guns require tons of air flow - you have to compare SCFM (not ACFM or generic CFM) at 40 psi & 90 psi - almost all other stats are meaningless.

Then again, I think you don't need to care about any of this. You need to get the car put back together. A cheap 30g one for an air gun is about all you need right now. You're very lucky the body of your car is in good shape.
X2.

I wouldn't consider even trying this without a large air compressor. Get the car running and driving first, before you start spending money on nonessential things.
