[Spridgets] Airbrush

I used to use a lot of airbrushes as a kid, but that has little to do with my answer. Have you considered the aerosol paint sprayers from a body shop?  They aren't a good spray gun, but at $8 or so they work well, are easy to clean and did I mention $8? I touched up my wrx with one, and the color match is bad, but the texture is good. And the color was a bad mix, not the sprayer. 
I would not suggest it for the middle of the bonnet, but for under valence, it could work well

Hi all,

I have been a bit busy with work lately so have not been able to contribute
much lately. I hope everyone is have a good summer.

I was under my other LBC looking around and noticed I had scrapped the
bottom of the front valance on a driveway.  (I know when I did it but was
trying to forget)

Anyway,  It may be time to get one of the small airbrush spray guns for this
repair.  The spot is too big for a small brush and too small for a full size
spray gun.

Has anyone tried any of the cheaper airbrush guns available on EBAY.  They
sell for $20-35. I am not sure I will use it much so do not fell like
spending $100 for a name brand one.  Yes I know they are made in China but I
have found that some Chinese goods do work while others don't.  Any real
review is appreciated.

Also,  is a gravity feed or suction better for auto touch up?

Thanks

Steven
