I'll have to ask my father about this. He used to sell the things in
an automotive paint and body supply business. Naturally about 5 years
after he gets out of the business I take up MV collecting. I could
have had everything I need at cost. Spray guns, paint, compressors,
etc.

Even so, the next time I chat with him, I'll find out about the differences.
