But I think I'd get a couple quarts of the 2K and use a cheap HVLP gun. It would be cheaper, including buying the gun, if you compare it to ten cans of 2K.
I would, but I don't have an air tank and don't really have room for more gear in my apartment. I was planning this paint job to be an outdoor, public space special. Since this is a winter project, I'll see how it looks without the clear, and maybe throw some on after.
