Well I will be the first to say I am wrong. I did a little googling and they still use those type of guns.
I am a mobile auto glass tech and am in body shops every day. I don't see any production shops using them, and it has been 15 years since I was a painter in a body shop. Maybe there are parts of the country where they use them for production, I dont' know. I think they were first designed for furniture refinishing.
I would think for the home shop a hvlp gun using a normal air supply would be the easiest route. I still use my Devilbliss gfg 503 gravity feed gun that I bought over 20 years ago and love it. Best money I have spent.
