spray paint gun

Ok. I have a question.
First of all i got this used spray gun(the ones to paint cars or something) from an auto body shop that they were closing down for only 15bucks.:)
Its hooks up to an air compressor. (I got one) It Works!!! Ive tried it just with water and it throws it evenly.
But here is were the question comes in.
ive never used one.
wat type of paint do i use for it?
Were can i get it?
my uncle that passed away worked in painting cars and had spray paint guns.
when i went to see him he would usualy be mixxing paint, thought he sometimes told me if i wanted to learn and i said no bcause i had no use for it. But now i want to learn.

Make sure and dry it out REAL good, since those things will rust (depending on the material) after running water through it.

You can use several different types of paint, but it depends on the type of paint how you mix it. Look in the tips&tricks section and there are a couple of threads about paint guns and such with good links to paint and techniques.
