I recently used an inexpensive airless sprayer to blow a bunch of paint onto a vintage camper that needed some love. Besides producing minimal overspray, it actually came out way better than I expected. Then again, my hopes were low to start. Had the camper not been treated to a coat of house paint in it's past, I would never have considered this as an option.
If you already own the sprayer, definitely give it a test on something else first. There's way too much work involved trying to undo a botched paint effort, not to mention the crazy cost of materials.

Just looked at a bunch of HVLP sprayers - they arent too expensive. I have a good compressor too. Only reason I thought I could use that machine I had posted about was because it was something available to me at work. I dont mind spending a
few bucks to get a better finished product. I'm more worried about my ability to do a good job, regardless of the tool I use!
