I was thinking the same thing. It would be a nice aide in doing the circular parts of the wheel.
It might have to be motorized though. I think it would be very difficult to get an even spray otherwise. It's hard to compensate for inconsistent movement when spraying.
I don't know. Maybe a potter's kick wheel might not be too bad.
Probably wouldn't be worth it unless one planned to do wheels as a business.

Spray cans work better held vertical
I rotate the wheels 90 degree every couple of coats
The one flat one was due to it having some rough spots on the wheel face that I wanted to lay it thicker on without getting runs.
With a air setup you can hold the gun many different ways but from a can this is recommended (vertical)

How's that wheel dip laying down? Looks nice and flat...and that's from rattle cans.
