Yes. That would not be easy.
Actually, I was thinking more like a small Wagner airless for $200.
It sits on the ground and a hose runs to the spray head.
Nearly all of the house painters that I have observed where I live
use some type of airless sprayer. Few use air anymore, probably =

because of the overspray getting on cars, & furniture, etc.
