Default painting my fox!!!

I want to paint my fox. I need to buy a compressor and a spray kit and of course the paint/prep supplies. I dont have a garage so i was thinking about using this to paint some cars:

What do you think? Use this or just suck it up and paint outside?

It cant be worse then nothing if you pick a nice day with no wind you can do a nice paint job. I painted lots of parts outside. You will have alot of overspray in that thing. If you basecoat/clearcoat you can wet sand and buff it and most dirt will come out. remember the base dries quick so if you lay the base down wit HVLP and get no dirt in it then use a RP gun to clear just try to keep overspray down and wait longer in between coats

Yeah I've even painted parts outside, but the car will be different. A wet sand won't take out the dirt that will inevitably get on the base coat.
