Can you tell me the model of the HF HVLP cheapy that you're talking about?
There are many on their site.
Thanks

I second the HVLP approach.
Mine is a $90 Harbor Freight cheapie that I've used for the last 8
years.

It makes very little overspray, and works fine.

I should add that there is not enough tea in China to make me spray a
fuselage with an airbrush, when I could fill the quart HVLP gun one time,
or perhaps two, and do it all. The waste factor difference would be very
small, indeed.


I second the cheapy HF HVLP sprayer. The suck at spraying regular paint,
but the watery aircraft paints are a perfect match for it. It puts down
PolyTone in a perfect layer.

I used a $6 airbrush from Northern Tool to spray a lot of the tube on my
project. It clogged up beyond repair about halfway through the fuselage.
It was actually beneficial that it was so small, because I couldn't have
gotten a touchup gun into all that small spaces between tubes. I ended up
doing a large section with a 3" roller. That worked really well for
everything except the tight corners. If I had to do it over again, I'd
roll as much as I could and hit the corners with the modeler's airbrush.
