I can only find engine paint in quarts for my engine. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 164 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 164 | The Preval is a good way to go for the small job.
As far as jobbers canning product goes, it was more commonly done in the past than it is today, perhaps for air quality reasons. Check with your local paint jobbers. On the other side of the coin perhaps a cheapy or used gun might be the cost effective way to go. Then you have a one time use gun to set on the shelf beside all those other one time use tools.

I've got one but haven't used it yet but since the spray nozzle is metal, I suspect it might be a cut above the standard plastic-nozzled throw away rattlecans. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 313 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 313 | thanks for the info,everyone! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 272 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 272 | I bought the harbor freight can.
Worthless in my opinion. poor spray pattern, and it leaks paint at the refil site. Messy
But for 9 bucks or whatever it was.....
give it a shot and if it works for you then you are set. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 375 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 375 | I go to our local Dupont distributor all the time and have them mix paint in spray cans. It works great for small stuff. | | |
