I have a Fuji turbine system for spraying my nitro finishes. I like the results, but am looking for a touch up gun for small sand thoughs, like happen on the edge of bindings. Is there a gun out there that's reasonably priced that someone would recommend? Could a person use one of those small airbrush guns that run on propellant? Someone told me that Home Depot sells a cheap model. Anyone out there know of that? Basically, what do you folks use for small touchups?

Thanks in advance.
J

I use this Preval unit...

I can mix small quantity of anything I want and spray without getting out the big gun.

cheap, simple, no needle.
i used mine a coupla days ago to touch up a broken neck heal with varnish,
doesn't even need polishing!

Alan,
Can you adjust the fan on the Paasche H? I'm looking to get down to about 3/8" coverage.
