Avalon, List,
 
Your point about spray cans is well taken; what I do is try to
accumulate a little pile of stuff, and when it gets to a reasonable
number of parts, I spray.  I did my T6 with Alumagrip and my T28 with
Jet Glo and their attendant primers (I prefer the Jet Glo).  With either
system the paint is indestructable!

But Glenn!
 
Then you have to mix, add, thin, fill, wipe up, etc.......then you have
wash, clean, spray lacquer thinner into the air, wipe off..........
Very quickly a 3' spray job with a one minute shake and setting the can
in hot water for a minute or so.........turns into a 45".  Two minutes
of great spraying and 43' of mixing and cleaning............<g>.......
 
Spray cans have their uses, eh?...........
 
Cheers!

Hey!   Don't get me wrong.........I wouldn't give up my JC Whitney
"touch-up" gun for anything..........but if you don't wash it
well.........it's easier to by a new one.........and that takes time
that a can doesn't........just turn upside down......sprits until clear.
I also keep a small container of lacquer thinner into which I put all
nozzles of used spray cans.........when one clogs........I've got
another, ready to go............
