Red face Learning Body work

I have a 89 bronco, that I want to do some minnor repairs on scratches and dents. It does not have to be perfect but I do think I can do a good job. For a little bondo work and touch up paint, here are my questions. I have a 20 gal 5 hp compressor.

What is a good touch up spray gun that will work with this compressor (if at all)? Not to expensive

What is the best way to match the paint.

How do I make it as shiny as the origional? will I put on a clear coat?

Any tips will be helpful

Thanks

You might want to consider taking a class on body work at your local community college or technical college. They will teach you how to remove dents without a ton of bondo, as well as the basics of painting a car. Either that, or get a buddy who is good with body work to guide you through the whole process.
