There is always the option of a preval sprayer.Lets you have the convienence of a spray can with the quality and duability of automotive grader paint.
IF (and that's a BIG if) you catalyze the paint!
If you use enamel its mixed right in.But I am no paint genius do yo mean something besides the drier thats mixed in?I know a urethane has to have a hardener mixed before you spray.

There is no 'pre mixed' catalyzed paint that doesn't have a very short pot life (as in hours). The catalyst actually molecularly 'crosslinks' the dried paint molecules. That means the paint is literally a DIFFERENT compound than uncatalyzed paint. It's much tougher, much more chemically resistant etc.
Now you can take automotive paint (acrylic enamel, acrylic urethane etc) and spray it, and it will dry and look good, for awhile. But it will perform very poorly compared to the same paint that had the hardener added. Most notably in terms of oxidation and reaction to bird droppings, gasoline....etc.

Im beginning to question my memory but isnt there such a thing as a rechargeable aerosol can- recharged with an air compressor?I fix up motorcycles and leave the tank and side covers to a real paint guy but the fram and swingarms- if I could shoot them in acrylic enamel single stage black that would be great! To paint frames and swingarms requires so little paint that a spray can is very ideal.
Yup,
although I have never used mine for that. Mine holds gasoline and I use it to start engines because it atomizes the fuel real well. It also got used with gas to start my alcohol injected engines too, way better than a dish soap bottle.
Works great on small engines, they start first pull.
Many folks(fans) over the years thought we were squirting NOS into my injected motors. I always tried to keep them guessing. lol
Also I was the first guy to show up with a pressurized gas primer(I've used this one and several others too) to start our cars. No one else that I ever raced with did that I ever saw back in the early 90s. And after we did it, everyone started using them with injected cars.

Challenger 1 where did you get that? Looks like youve had it awhile. Does it use the nozzles from disposable spray cans?
Keep old mopars alive.

Yes and Eastwood I believe sells them. I have had mine for 20 years.
I used it to start a pile of old wood limbs on fire one time collected from the yard. It got dark, I got drunk and it got lost in the yard for like 3 years. Buried under dirt and I found it and it still works. Quality tool for sure and you can replace the center pickup tube, o rings and stem.
