I'm a newby when it comes to spray painting and I'm still learning. The situation is almost desperate enough for me to read the instructions BUT I look at it this way. When I can find them, I buy Zinsser spray cans of shellac. If you can buy spray cans you must be able to spray it yourself? I know there must be complications re nozzle size vs thinning agent vs HVLP etc but it must be possible. The other alternative is to buy Zinsser spray cans?
I got my last one at Anagotes but I don't think they carry it anymore...
