What kind of paint gun should I use to spray ZR? Or is it easier just to roll and brush?

get a cheap Harbor Freight Gravity feed spray gun if you want to spray it
don't need anything high priced for that.
clean it with lacquer thinner when your done

Stupid question. If it's gravity feed how do you get under the frame without turning the gun upside down?

um usually you have the frame up high enough and a stupid answer is that a suction cup gun won't spray on an angle either as it can't suck the paint up.
Only gun that will spray at any angle is a pressure pot as the fluid is pressurized in a cup or tank and fed through fluid hose to the spray gun head which can be turned at any angle but a gravity feed will spray at angles just not upside down unless you have sealed cup system like 3M PPS or equivalent which then they will spray at any angle
