    Yes! I wanted to fix a scratch on my gf car and looked up how to do it. The results were okay, and I figured the issue was the use of a spray bottle, so I was thinking use a spray gun, but those require more scfm (basically how much air pressure your compressor can produce), about to give up then I learned about different size sprayers, that got me to airbrush which my compressor can do. It was just an idea which I wasn't sure about until I saw this! Thanks you, will pull the trigger on getting the items, but it would have been nice to have seen you use a primer and clear coat, but I'm sure it's the same idea about thinning the things first for the airbrush.

    Great video. Just got an airbrush for these kinds of repairs and this helped me get feel for it.

    The simplicity of single stage paint… much easier to work than bc/cc

    You can still see the scratch. Needs clear.

    I use the same thing to do small touch up on aircraft. I hooked mine up to a scuba tank so it’s always perfectly clean and dry air. Also make sure you never use syringes with the black rubber stopper. They will cause fisheyes. Ask me how I know!
