I would have a serious problem with spraying a solvent based paint through a sprayer that has an electric motor.JMO. It's hard for me to understand people spending tons of money on wheels, motor work, suspension, then $50 on a paint job. Why don't you prep it, take all the trim off you dont want painted and get a $250 paint job from Maaco? Alot easier to deal with later when you CAN afford a decent paint job. Try sanding rattle can paint off when you want a good paint job. Job will cost you 3 times as much because now you have a PO'ed painter.
