Default Electric Paint Sprayer?

is it possible to use an electric paint sprayer to spray primer on a car? like could i do this myself? a coat of epoxy primer or whatever, doesn't really matter as long as its covered in a coat since it will be all blocked out and stuff by body man....will something like this even work? or is it for strictly like house painting or soemthing....?

I have used a Wagner Power painter. It does work. Not the best but it works.

He'd charge you extra to block sand it doing that way. I don't think it would lay down worth a flip. And it would more than likelyhave lots of runs.
