A good sprayer is the Paasche #62 3oz. sprayer. $49.95 w/ a 10' air hose that fits any 1/4" pipe thread compressor outlet. Only 35# pressure needed, 25# min. when actually spraying. The great thing is that the #62 has NO adjustments to play with. Cut the paint w/ thinner and go. Clean up is fast and easy. If you use an air brush, it will require more thinning and more coats. With the sprayer, I will normally only use 1 coat for like a roof. Spray the inside first, the out side last. I use an old electric oven to bake the paint. Set at 225 degrees, and place / hang your item on the rack. Leave the oven door open and let the heat flow over the item. It is normally dry in 15 minutes, and then I can spray the other side. Our paint is an alkylld enamel, and is also plastic compatible. We use Naphtha as a solvent due to it's quicker flash point. Harry
