Anyone play around with airbrush?

[82boy]

I am in the middle of a project for this winter, and I want to paint a fiberglass stock. I bought my paint it is house of kolor, and the reducer, I was going to shoot it with my automotive touch-up guns, but I have to wait until spring gets here where it is warm enough to spray. (I don't have a heated garage) I thought about buying a cheap airbrush set up from harbor freight, and shooting the stock in my basement.

My questions are the harbor freight kit is on sale this week for I think $14.99 is it descent enough to do a good job on a stock, or is it one of them you get what you pay for deals? How else can I power the brush besides a air brush compressor? I think I remember seeing propellant cans that you can screw on, would this work? I have a small tank that I can hold air pumped from my compressor, could I make this work? Would this have enough pressure and volume to do a good job spraying the stock? Any other tips you guys can give me?

Thanks
Pat

Very inexpensive air brush sets are available with propellent cans. Here in Northern California, an art/craft supply named Michael's sells them for very little, like the Harbor Freight one. Probably any hobby/craft/art store carries them.

I bought one to paint details on the moldings on my front door and it worked very well. You do have to get the paint the proper consistancy.
