Jeff, Look at http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Etchinator-low-cost-spray-etcher/ The instructable also contains a link to Adam Seychells more professional etcher (a member here also) There are also a few more ideas such as the splash etcher someone oft mentions here (search is your friend) All of them are reasonable ideas. Most of them would actually be cheaper than an electric spray paint gun and NOT have corrosion problems. Ferric Chloride does have its place BTW. Just not for PCBs unless you don't do them very often.
