[Boatanchors] Paint applicator

[Jim Brannigan]

Carl saved me a trip to the garage....Preval, yes.....
Easy to use and clean, cheap and Home Depot carries them.

I did the Dial cover on a Ranger.  It came out really nice, also primer on 
some metal models.
Only problem is that my plastic pistol grip adapter for the "rattle-cans" 
won't fit the small top.
It is not an airbrush, but a good cheap alternative for custom colored 
paints.

Glen, The Harbor Freight spray can I use with various cleaners.  It works 
well.
