The airbrush has several sizes of tip which can give you a good
selection.


I know nothing about airbrushes. Any recommendations? What do these things
cost?



Go to your local hobby store. They should have a small airbrush that costs
around $50-75. You can use commercial "canned air" (available at the hobby
shop) or buy an extra hose to attach to your own recharable source. The
paint jar on these things is pretty small, about the size of a bottle of
model paint.

You can actually do a lot with these brushes. My friend repainted the
struts on his Tcraft with his. Because it's so small you have a lot of
control and won't have much overspray. Practice first!
