I do as much spraying as possible before final assembly; i.e., drawers without the bottom installed, cabinet without the back installed. Whenever practical, I dry-assemble (as with my credenza) then break it down and finish each piece seperately.
For small items, I have an HVLP detail sprayer sans regulator. That eliminates some of the bulk. Actually, I removed (or never installed) the regulators from all of my HVLP guns. I have a dryer and regulator at the spray area, so I set the appropriate pressure before a short flex hose.Bill Arnold - Website - ShopCam

that was where i was headed bill.. did that on the end table a while back but this is tighter area.. the ceiling and floor of a box area that is only 18" wide and 18" deep and 12" high is just a tad tight for me and my arm to bend like a pretzel need a real small monkey to do that stuff for me i guess

An option I heard some folks talk about is this:
You can aim it any direction in tight spots.
