Default what did you use for your flat black paint job

I'm getting ready to join team flat black, but i'm wondering what people used. How well does it come out using rattle cans? I thought about using a electric gun like a wagner power painter. Has anyone tried that? I dont have a compressor nore a way to transport it if i rent one, thats why i'm asking.

SPRAY CAN OR GUN? People seem to miss the point, even on the archived threads. the color is not the point. THe point is what you used. A rattle can or a pnumatic or electric spray gun

Rustoleum "Flat Black", thinned out with paint thinner. Sprayed with my $12 spray gun.

Note, this is nearly a year after I painted it, so it might look a little "off"

i found an electric gun from harbor frieght tools for about 20 bucks. I think i'm gonna try it since i dont have a compresser. Hope it works. Anyone have any experience with these. Its like that wagner power painter on tv.
