Check out the L Sprayer Hand piece from Paasche. IMHO, the best air gun in the business. If will spay anything.

Re: bronze coating:--
Thank you for posting this. I have been working with the metal coatings and some home made recipes from fellow lifecasters as well. Some of the results show lots of promise.. I just need more time to refine my techniques.
I tried using the Resin Dump gun as suggested by one of the vendors. That was like wrestling a cyclone. It was kinda comical. I am not likely to try that again. I might load the gun with soupy plaster and spray plaster from it, but I am not likely to spray paint again with it. I have since tried a low cost HVLP gun with a 1.7MM nozzle and at 15 PSI it layed down a nice coating. I could control it, and I did not turn the work room into a fog of paint.
The nice thing about that video was the example using a stipple technique. Metal coatings paint really shows the brush marks when taken right out of the container and not thinned. Stippling is a great way to create a nice effect while taking advantage of the properties of leaving brush marks behind.
My last experiment was with Metals Coatings B and Liver of Sulpher patina. It came out pretty nice. I'll upload a picture later today.
