    Slow delivery rattlecans

    Good morning all.

    Without going into my reasons for not airbrushing again, does an option exist for aerosol cans which deliver at a similar rate as an airbrush?

    All I have used, varnish and primer, would really be for large areas; they're rather unsubtle, not to mention the fact they're spraying fresh air and dissipating into the atmosphere as much as landing on the target.

    Is there such a thing as a rattlecan which can be used from <10cm and covers slowly and accurately?

    Not sure about that but I have seen a trigger attachment somewhere which may give a lot more control.

      Not much, mostly just keeps the paint off your fingers!

        The Montana range has a variety of nozzle options which might help, from wide angle to soft, sorry no time to do a link

              Seems to be aimed at graffiti 'artists' so their idea of a fine line might not be the same as a modeller's, but cheap enough to try.

                we use this one a lot at work(making architectural models, for the newbies here)
                The Level 1 Spray Paint Cap is a fine skinny cap, for fine average spray width that ranges from 0.6cm - 2.5cm. The spray width changes with the used distance to the object. For skinnier lines, spray from a closer distance. For fatter lines, spray from a further distance. For all kind of Spray Paint work the level series of caps is a great set of tools to have in your bag, if you are working on a mural or just some plain old crafts, the Level series of Spray Paint Caps will cover all needs. We carry a wide range of 'Spray Paint Caps'
