Alright, I need to repaint my half ton here pretty quick and I need some help from the guys who paint cars... I have been messing around with fixing my own dents and scratches on my white truck lately and have learned a lot just by trial an error. I am very far from being good at it though and want to attempt to paint my half ton satin black. It has a several dents that aren't horrible but need to be fixed. THIS IS NO SHOW TRUCK, I just need it to look nice, not perfect.
What I need from you guys is a list of what I need to buy. I have been watching youtube videos and searching forums for a while, so I think I have a good idea of what I need, but I am still uncertain. I don't know what size or brand of blocks to buy, what filler, ect.
I would like to fix the dents it has, sand the existing paint, and spray the rest but I dont know if I should spray the whole truck in primer over the paint or use a primer surfacer, then sealer, the top coat, ect.
I would like to use the Summit brand of paints, primers, ect as they are cheap. They get good reviews on auto body forums... Also, what paint gun should I buy? I have always heard good things about DeVilbiss guns, and found some fairly cheap online, but if theres something cheaper I am all about it. I have guns, but one is siphon feed and the other is a HF HVLP.

I bought a Electric DA sander made by Makita, but wasnt sure if the air sanders were better... I will get some pics of the dents and progress as I go.
I appreciate any help yall can provide!
