UPDATE

Finally got around to doing this job I have been procrastinating..
I sprayed the table with a touch-up spray gun that held about 1 cup of thinned paint....worked but was a PIA. Still better than spray cans.
Spent $17 on a cheap autobody spray gun at HF that can hold a quart of paint...WOW. I was able to bang out 4 chairs in quick time. Yes, there was a lot of overspray but after thinning the paint I was able to stretch it considerably. Plus, I was able to get into the nooks and crannies that would have been a pain to do with a brush...F-that.
NO DRIPS either.....and I also realized that this job would have taken about 50 spray bomb cans. I bought 2 quarts of paint at $10 each and I still have a lot left. I have 2 more chairs to do. The completed chairs and table look brand new....and I only put on 1 coat of paint. If they need another coat in a year or two, no problem...
At least now I don't have to worry about broken glass table tops and ripped fabric patio chairs....
