Wow, I can't believe Preval sprayers are still around.  I tried using one 
to 
do some touchup work on my 1965 Dodge Dart.  This would have been close to 
40 years ago!  

The one I saw on their website looked exactly like what I used.  It wasn't 
that great.  Basically, it was a mechanized perfume atomizer.  It sort of 
spit the paint onto the car, making a dry, orange-peel finish.  

I ended up having to shoot several coats, wet-sand it with 600 grit 
sandpaper, and polish it up with rubbing compound.  After that experience, 
I 
went out and bought a low-end spray gun, which worked much better.

I'll be interested to hear whether they've improved the Preval very much 
in 
these 4 decades.
