Buy a detail gun, about $20.00 from Harbor Freight.

Gerald..get on YouTube and search for airbrushing techniques. Probably most of the videos you'll see are by pros using expensive pro quality airbrushes, but it'll give you lots of ideas. The little detail gun that Lou mentioned is a pretty decent gun, and you can get the spray pattern pretty small, but not to the point where you can paint a line like you could with a good airbrush.

I have been using a paasche air brush for years. The first was when I painted flames on the T sedan 25 years ago. back then it was the top of the line airbrush, today I do not know what is best. but I have heard if you going to do pin stripping they have a new tool for it. If you check online you will find alot of airbrush videos.
