A garden implement took a swipe at my coupe (gotta wonder what goes on in the garage at night!) and I am looking at some sanding and bondo repair. As I have no conventional painting equipment I am wondering if I might use the Preval painting system for recoating the damaged area. Anybody have experience with Preval?

I have used them many many times. They are great.
you still have to mix the paint per the manufactures specs, and sometimes a little thinner depending on the paint.
Because very little paint is sprayed on as opposed to a gun, you may have to use 4 coats to equal a guns 2 coats That is true with the paint and the clear. You can either spray single stage paint or a base plus a clear with the Preval.
After painting make sure you have some lacquer thinner to clean out the tube and spray head.

Insurance claim for home or auto insurance? Then you could have a body shop repair?

Make sure you let it tack up between coats. When finished you may have to wet sand with 3000. Then polish with 3M ultra fine.
