I suggest buying a good quality airbrush.  You can get a low end model and 
it will do a fine job.  The problem with the really cheap ones like the one 
that Harbor Freight sells is that some of the critical repair parts (like 
the O ring) are not available seperately.  I spent a week going to every 
place that ever even heard of O rings for one that I have, and ended up 
having to make one out of model airplane fuel tubing.  NONE of the O rings 
that I found fit.  It is a VERY odd size.  I broke down and bought a nice 
airbrush.

Oh yeah, another thing.  A lot of the cheap airguns are made with a lot of 
plastic components - they may not stand up to the solvents either.

Just my thoughs.
