Another option if you don't have access to 220 is a high quality lvlp spray gun with a sufficient 110 compressor. These guns work very well and allow atomization for longer periods of time at a considerably lower cfm rated air source compared to traditional hvlp guns. I recently purchased the Iwata lph400, believe I found it for about $400 shipped on eBay brand new/authentic with the aluminum cup and accessories. It's a bit of an investment to get started with everything you'll need, especially the little stuff. The consumables, sand paper etc. really start to nickel and dime you, but if you're serious about painting your own cars you'll save money in the long run.
One word of caution, unless you have a ton of free time, refrain from telling anyone about your new found hobby of painting cars and the equipment you own. People will come out of the woodwork asking you to do side jobs! Hahah
It's like "Oh you need your entire red sedan painted a dark metallic blue? No problem, should have a few hours tomorrow!" Hahah People don't understand the amount of time and effort that goes into body work and painting, stick to your own projects unless you're starting a business.
/rant, good luck op!
