Don't laugh, When I worked at the marina, We had a guy who could lay a coat of varnish on the Mahogany speed boats with a brush that would make you swear it was sprayed. That is when he was sober and not in jail.

I knew a painter like that fellow. He claimed that breathing the fumes from varnish and shellac made him very thirsty for beer. He was also very thirsty on his days off.

HEAVENS NO!!! It's all in the wrist/trigger action.
I've painted MANY cars with Synthetic Enamel & could still do a PRIMO job, in my driveway! Spraying Synthetic Enamel is NOT an EASY task, just ask ANY Painter----I can lay on a "perfect" shiny, smooth job that requires NO Color sanding, Buffing or Anything! I also take pride in my MASKING.
I won an "AWARD" for the repainting of a restoration of one of the FIRST International Cotton Picking Machines. It's called "OLD RED" & is on display in the Smithsonian Institute!!---My Dad, Chief, was the first operator of it, here in the San Joaquin Valley!!! (PROUD SON!) There's a lots about me, that you DON'T know!!!---IF you have 3 days to spare, come by & I'll tell you my "SECRETS", while the Dog entertains you.--LOL
