kurtvd19 Posted November 6, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 6, 2015 Experience with it yes - on a model no. Several years ago I used it to do a touch up job on a fire truck fender. It worked fine for that job (the pin striping repair was another issue) and the results are equal to a spray can finish - that is to say, not as good as an airbrush. If you can do a decent job with a spray can you can expect similar results with this item but it's only advantage over a rattle can is the ability to use whatever color you need rather than what might be available in a stock rattle can. I can't recommend this over an airbrush as you have no control over the spray pattern - just like a rattle can. An airbrush is the way to go for model painting. We don't usually paint areas big enough to need a spray bigger than an airbrush delivers and we most often are painting small areas that are better painted with an airbrush with a lot less masking needed.

Jaydee37 Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted November 7, 2015 Thank you for your response. I have never tried airbrushing and I thought this might be an inexpensive way to try it without a major expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Mo Posted November 7, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 7, 2015 I found the same thing as Kurt. It lays down the product the same as a spray can.
