Anything which gives someone the ability and more important, the confidence, to tackle those little jobs would be good.

Go for it

I have an airbrush used for painting small models. I was going to have a crack with it at some of my stone chips, so would be keen to know more.

interested.

could you use it for key scrapes as well?

Cassf88- Yeh it would be possible to use for key scraps depending on how deep it in . Ill add a little section for Key scraps and Deeper Scratches in it for you. You would probably need and extra few items but that's about it. Such and Filler a sort of putty but instead of wood its for cars.

Eltnot- I was planing to use just the spray can but a friend lent me his air brush too so im going to use that instead. Should be easier actually from what ive been taught so far.

What do you mean? Small Area as in smaller Jobs at can be done at home. Only about 2 x the area that needs to be repaired needs to be sanded down.

Not big jobs like whole bonnets or the whole roof.

I'm planning to sand down 2 areas of the Side guard (picture two) or i might plan to sand a whole chunk of it.
