I spent £130 on sand paper the other day...
I would think a 50 litre compressor would be too small. We tried to use one a while back and it was too small and struggled to do even a door. The 100 litre compressor was pretty good, did a whole car with it, but that was a struggle. The new 200 litre is perfect for what we do  The same 100 litre comressor my riend has is going for about £170 on ebay. My 200 litre was £380 delivered.
The guns are going to set you back a fortune if you want a decent finish... Thoug hif you are planning to do a fair bit of painting it's a bit of an investment, as is the compressor.
Then you need all the other little bits, like abrasives and things. If you are looking to do a few odd jobs now and again you are best off buying in bulk. I used to buy sanding stuff from B&Q - £4 for 5 d/a disks. I spent about £17 a pack for over 100 disks a few weeks back, the whole lot came to £130 including a 3M hook it block - highly recomended! Get a long and a short one as they are fantastic bits of kit.
A decent d/a sander is a usefull tool too, you can get away with a B&Q one for small jobs. But they do die quickly if you are working them hard 
Can't think of much more and Beardy has given a good list of things for you
