    Wagner Power Painter?

    I have one of these and it did a splendid job shooting latex paint on some shutters. What about motorcycle paint?

      Those are for thick paints, like house paint.

          I tried using mine years ago to spray primer on a car. I had to spend hours afterwards wetsanding it down to a paintable surface. Definitely not recommended.

            If you're painting an old Rambler that power painter will do just fine. For that matter a roller or paint brush would work on one of those old Kenosha Cadillacs just as well

              I had an old Mazda Protege that the paint was peeling on. I had a choice of a decent paint job or rattle canning it and buying an air compressor with the savings.
              I now have an air compressor.

              But yeah, you really need a good air compressor and a good quality spray gun.
