How about airbrushing? I have a Tamiya Spray Work Basic coming in about a week or two, do you think airbrushing X-8 will work as well as TS-16? Or is it a matter of acrylic vs lacquer?
You could actually use a portable nebulizer compressor. It's basically an air compressor so you just need some adapters on the hose or something.

Buy this instead. More affordable and even veterans use it.
