I drive by a pretty nice house on a five acre lot fairly regularly.
The lot is surrounded by a chain link fence which is rusty. Replacing
the chain link fence would be costly and painting the chain link
would be a real pain. Unless of course one could use a high voltage
supply to eliminate over spray. Is this feasible? Would the Harbor
freight power supply be good enough for a one time job?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Electrostatic Painting. Very common in industry, but for what you're
thinking it won't really help.
There will still be a lot of over spray through the fence. What it does
do is ensure an even coat
within spots that are hard to reach.

The easy way to do chain is to pull it off the posts, roll it up and dip it.

If you have to paint it in place an 18" roller with long nap does pretty
well.
