I have a very nice airbrush with all the tips. I also have a Fuji 5 stage turbine spray rig with touch up gun and multiple tips. This transmission has a lot different angles that need painted. I'm concerned that with a gun by the time I get coverage I will have too much paint on spots and it will run. Can I use an airbrush and is it practical? I have the little jars for the airbrush. This is a base and clearcoat system. Thank you for your time.
glad you've asked the question about airbrushing, I too am wanting to use mine but I've only used an Eastwood paint gun to paint with. You can use your paint gun with the right tip. Maybe use the tip of 1.2 to 1.4 with lowering your pressure and reducing the amount of paint thru the gun? you won't want to cover the tranny with one coat anyway. A little at a time.
