As in using one to paint a Jeep? Not unless you plan on using house paint! 
Automotive finishes require adequate atomization of the paint. Typically a 1.3 to 1.6 spray tip. Automotive paint is much thinner than house and wall paint, and if you try to spray it with a Wagner, without going into alot detail, you will make a mess! 
If you don't have access to automotive spray equipment, and you really want to do it yourself, I have seen some pretty fair paint jobs done with rattle cans. Time consuming, and hard on the index finger, but possible.
If you mean you have one for sale, you should repost in the classified section.

30 bucks of rattle can on this one. Warning: it only last about 3 to 4 years tops and will need to be removed before any "real" paint job in the future.

Did you wax it? Just curious since I've had my roll-on paint job for my 3rd year now with no signs of it going bad but I usually wax it twice a year to preserve. Since I have a satin finish, the wax makes it shiny for a little bit which I don't like but keeps it looking good in the long run.
This taken this Spring at the 3-year mark after I got the new wheels;
