I am wondering if anyone has tried an old fashioned Wagner or the like for putting on the racing livery? I know that if spend good money on a paint job, I will end up driving it like a wuss for fear of getting rock chips or worse. With that being said, I heard on one guy who would use a power painter and just kept wet-sanding to get a nice finish after multiple coats.

I tried painting some of the engine bay parts, e.g. fan shroud, etc., and got a lot of runs/drips, so I would not be capable of putting a nice coat on the entire car that way.

Any other good ideas?
