Ron, glad you said never say never! My compressor is 40 years old and I bought a set of cheap spray guns (three with various size tips for various deliveries) and don't think they cost more than a hundred or so. Probably buy a nice one suitable for less. It is a challenge to get the mixture right but that is part of the fun of cabinet restoration. The fun is also that it allows you to control so many factors like the temperature outside and when toning, how dense you wish the color to go on. No interest in paying big bucks for rattle cans. If you are not painting a car or sandblasting suitable compressors for this kind of work are cheap. The addition of toner to the cocktail is simple, the more dye you add, the denser it comes out of the gun. You can also mix dyes should you wish to change the color. It's fun!
We may or perhaps not convert you.
