Another alternative is an air brush. Thanks to Jerry Kaidor for
suggesting this to me. You can buy one at a model store for <$20 and it
comes with a replaceable can of compressed propellant. I bought a
little fitting for a couple of bucks that allows me to connect mine to
my compressor. Using an air brush is a bit more tedious than a spray
gun but no worse than a spray can and you have a useful tool when your
done. Air brushes are great for spraying small parts. I use a large
cardboard box as a spray booth.
