    No, a power sprayer like what you'd rent at Home Depot .
    I'm going to try and put together a "ESB" Boba Fett suit and
    It seems like it'd be easier this way I'll probly try it on the jet pack
    Cause its 90% green the chest armor possibly also

    For $100 you can get an airbrush and compressor thatll do the job better with the right colors. Its not a single color neither is the chest armor.

    The original armor was done with a cheap single-action airbrush, wasn't it? I know that the helmets were. Check out Harbor Freight or Princess Auto (depending on where you live) for a combo airbrush & compressor pack.

    I can tell you that a single action or even a spraycan can do WORK. I mean look at graphitti it can be SICK with a guy that takes his time....you can use a single action that costs $50? And if u dont have a compressor its an excuse to get one...2-5 gallon nothing crazy.
