Case Painting (Automotive)

I want to start playing around with painting my case, but i was wondering if airbrushing guns would be sufficient to paint a case and other small parts? can an airbrush gun even spray automotive paint?..i would just hate to buy a full gun setup for small pc parts...plus an airbrush would be great for small parts like the key board etc... anybody have any knowledge on this??

thanks

an airbrush can normally be used with any paint, as long as it is fluid enough, and as long as you perfectly clean the airbrush after use. conclusion : if you have the adequate thinner, you can use automotive paint...

the only thing to consider is the capacity of your airbrush (mine had a very small paint reserve, which limited its use to small parts). if your airbrush is a bit small, it will be hard to paint big parts with it. you could use spray paint for the main background color, then the airbrush for the rest, and for small parts.

instead of car paint, you could also use Humbrol model paint. it is very fluid, there are lots of colors, and you can cover a good surface with very few paint
