My personal opinion is that right from the beginning of a project consider biting the bullet and ditch rattle can paint as much as possible.
With the amount of items that need primer and paint the spending for a paint gun (or 2) and different cup sizes will seem like nothing after how many rattle cans you burn thru.
If you shoot your primers and finishes on non critical parts and areas early in the build you will work thru all the nuances of your equipment and paint systems while developing your confidence/skill for when you get to critical areas, where it really matters ….
You will also figure out how to clean your eqpt with an efficient sequence of wipes and cleaners etc to reduce your solvent waste.
Most importantly you will achieve a quality unobtainable from a spray can…
