Kirby vacuums were popular in the 1950s. Spray gun attachments were available and they are still available on eBay today. I remember my Dad using one to paint a trailer he built. My brother stuck his finger in the air intake and there was blood splattered on Dad's paint job! Safety wasn't a big priority back then.

I watch the UK TV show Bangers and Cash. They were talking about an English car manufacturer who painted their cars with a brush and then polished the marks out. I can't remember which manufacturer that was.
