I've painted a car with a Wagner. Took more time fooling with the gun to get it right than it did to paint the car.
I've done it quicker and better just using rattlecans.

Bringing this one back from the dead---just sealant primed the 2002 (will be posting pics soon on classicmotorsports.net) with a Graco 2900 HVLP electric 'spray station' that I bought at Lowes this morning for $119. Perfectly acceptable finish for priming and now I can work on the filler work without having to truck the car back and forth to a shop that has air.

That's pretty cool.

Nah, this one is getting a nice paint job (ie, not by me) and before you tell me that that isn't Grassroots--you're right--it's not, it's a Classic Motorsports project.

When I was a teenager, a friend of mine painted his Celica with a Power Painter. It looked really bad... but! A few weeks later, he we sanded it. He said he spent hours working on it. And as I recall, it looked pretty presentable!

when I went to HF yesterday, they only had a $129 one--so I went to Lowes for this one.
