I agree w/ Todd, I bought a HVLP gun kit for about $80.00, it has 3 guns to do different jobs. I painted my "A" the first paint job, (they say you always rembemer the first time). I think it came out great. I used Case IH paint made by Valspar w/ hardner it puts on a shine as well as helps fading and durabilty. Clean up is not that diffucult so small jobs are not that big a deal. Guns are very simple and I found a artical on the internet about setting the gun that made it easy. After all this I really don't care for rattle cans at all.

I tried to send a picture but the server won't let me.

I agree with Bob.On Anything that I'm taking the trouble to restore, I want to put the most durable coating available on it. Rattle can paints just don't have the durabilty of hardened acrylic or urethene enamels. I usually just accumilate clean parts till I have enough to make it worthwhile to use my spray gun. I don't even like to use rattle can primers for the same reason.

We are coming up to the turning point on the Regular where we start putting 
tuff back together rather than take apart. We have some parts cleaned, 
nadbalasted and primed and have started looking for a finish coat. We are 
ware of the numbers available for Dupont/ Martin Senour and PPG but came 
cross Van Sickle. They actually list a Farmall gray and it appears to be 
vailable in rattle cans which for the pace we are working and for a lot of 
he parts like pedals and brackets  looks like a good approach.
Just wondering if there was any experience out there
