Agreed, be careful with AP sprays though as the technique is different when using them. You have to be much more careful when spraying as the paints builds up quickly and detail can be lost.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587889/6688271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/587889/6688271.page GMT Painting large areas without an airbrush?
The easiest answer is to get a an airbrush. You can get an entire setup that will easily do the basics for around $150.

However, with no airbrush painting a large vehicle takes a large brush, thing layers of paint, and lost of patience.

But yeah, it's annoying, I did this guy before I bought my airbrush and it took me the best part of day to lay down a smooth coat, from memory I did 4 layers on the light grey and another 4 on the dark grey, it's mostly good but in a couple of spots you can see brush streaks:
