Default Alternative for spray can painting

I know some of you guys are always asking if its ok to use spray cans to paint your cubs because you dont have a paint gun and compressor at the moment. and the bad thing about the spray cans is that they dont have the hardner in them so it scratches off easily. well I was in tulsa last week at the paint supply store and came across a fix. they have a disposable preval spray gun. It has the bottle on the bottom that you mix your own paint with hardner and everything. screw it to the bottom of the sprayer and your off. It was only $5.50 so I grabbed one to try it out. even though I do have a paint gun and compressor there are days that only have an hour or so to work on my cubs and thats not enough time to paint a few parts that have been prepped and clean everything up. so I thought this would work. I tried it out today and was very impressed. I mean it sprays very well. I was able to mix my regular paint with hardner and thinner and it was good to go. I know this is definately not a replacement for a paint gun and compressor but it sure beats the spray cans. Oh yeah one more thing. I am not in any way associated with this company or the product. I am just a guy offering a tip on something that worked for me. heres a pic of it.

I had forgotten all about those. Dad used a few when he touched up a car many years ago and it looked great. Appreciate the suggestion.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
