When I lived in Guatemala , the shop I worked at , used a hand bug sprayer often then hand rubbed out the paint to make it shine and remove the bugs that were always attracted to the wet paint.....
For the better $ jobs , they had a SEARS 1/10 HP compressor connected directly to the paint gun , no tank so if you watched them spraying , each stroke of the compressor made the gun spray a bit more , the final result was....... well .
Lots and lots of labor went into making the finished re sprays look O.K. from a KM or two away .
Good old ' Uncle Earl Schieb ' ~ " In by 8 , out by 5 ! $29.95 ! " . I remember his commercials and weird $29.95 colors , it cost extra to get any color you'd actually want =8-) .
The good thing was : he used Acrylic Enamel and once it hardened , you could cut and buff it to a mirror shine , we did so on many 5 year old chalky re - sprayed junkers then fixed them up to run well and made a handy profit on every one .
The devil really in in the details , the paint job details being removing the mouldings , door handles , bumpers etc. , etc. .
