Got an old case vac 1957, got it running and want it to paint it. Just want it to look better. Never used a paint sprayer but I make a mess spraying with cans. Any suggestions as to a cheap sprayer? Or should I brush it?

Dave, because the spray pattern with a spray gun is so much better that that from a can, and because the spray gun is shooting a lot of air with the paint, you will be able to control the paint a lot better and make a lot less mess than with cans.
(quoted from post at 08:38:31 09/10/19) would the hvlp spray gun kit that harbor freight lists on their web site for $109 be a good choice. It would solve my problem with the spray gun and compressor maybe not large enough? thank you
(quoted from post at 20:44:00 09/10/19) Using a conventional gun in a shop is a big no no around here, big fines if caught. I would get a hvlp gun, they are not that hard to master and you will save money on materials.
(quoted from post at 11:40:11 09/11/19) I would never go back to a convention siphon feed gun. I had to use my old gun after using the hvlp gun for a while and forgot how wasteful they are. Yakob, you should learn how to use the hvlp, you'll never go back once you have mastered it.

I'm not talking about a siphon feed. I'm talking about a gravity feed gun with an HVLP cap (which was "mastered," btw), then switching it to an HTE cap and seeing better results, easier, and with no change in waste.
(quoted from post at 13:01:12 09/11/19) If I spray it will be a hf sprayer that my hf compressor can handle. Plan on prepping best I can and do the same with my painting. Thanks for all the input.

ood evening:(quoted from post at 08:11:15 09/08/19) I would practice more with rattle cans . The paint is mixed all you have to do is shake it you can start and whenever you want the only cleaning you have to do is tip the can upside down and spray until it?s clear no air compressor no air hose no regulators just easy . Grandpa love has painted several and he does a nice job
(quoted from post at 19:33:49 09/11/19) A paint sprayer is just a harder to use rattle can
