Personally, no. I have seen cars that have, though, it isn't pretty. The Wagner sprayer is designed for heavy latex base house paint, it does not do well with automotive or tractor paint. It will leave a very grainy texture in the paint, which will be made worse if the paint is a metallic. Best bet is to get a proper spray gun.

Agree with that Bill. Bout the same results that the cave men got in the
Lascaux Cave paintings by filling their mouth with color and spitting it out on the wall.

Go to Harbor Freight, spend a twenty and get change back on a gravity feed HVLP gun:

I've done most of this one with one of those cheap HF guns and they work just fine:
