For that much effort I'd get a detail, or touch-up gun (if you have an 
aircompressor plus a water/oil trap.) which would be cheaper in the long 
run.  A full size gun is almost over kill and probably more difficult adjust 
and learn. OTOH at roughly $40 to $50 USD for the detail, or touch-up guns 
you can afford to expirment.

I like the big gun but it gives a *lot* more over spray that just drifts off 
in the wind. It's also difficult to use in tight spots compared to the 
detail gun.
