Glad you mentioned this, was just getting ready to buy 1.
Same as OP, just want to paint small items and was wondering if the HF model was better than a rattle can.
I figure the worst that can happen is I throw it away after a couple of uses and it's still cheaper than having a single custom color rattle can made.

Any tips on using the HF spayer?
I'd get the electric model so no compressor is needed.
