Well - you don't exactly put the paint into the compressor!! You need a spray gun - and a source of compressed air (or other inert gas). Most cellulose paints would be thinned about 30 % with celly thinners for spraying. beware (no - nothing to do with CW!) - the mixture is HIGHLY flammable! Much easier to use a rattle can!
Bull Motif have 'Green Engine Paint' (they don't seem to do Gold for some reason :roll: ) in a 400 ml rattle can for £8 plus post.
