You need a shutz gun, the Wurth stuff does come in an aerosol but you won't get the right finish, gravitex sounds like it might be a better option if you don't have a compressor and gun, an airbrush won't give the right texture either, I doubt it would even come out the nozzle, not sure you can thin it enough.

Yes, you can buy Gravitex in an aerosol, it is over paintable.

Not doing well today, we don't use Dinitrol anymore, I just have a tin on my toolbox, we use this stuff now for cavity protection.

Gravi guard it is then, since i don't have a schultz gun.

Just need to find about £1500 to get the welding done and get the gravi-guard and additional paint i need :(

One thing though, i have tried the areosol type stone chip and it doesnt give the same results, its the schultz gun gives the rippled effect.

i assume a schultz gun runs via compressed air? if so i am totally screwed then since i don't have a compressor. any idea's on how to get the same or a very similar result without? got filler on the rear valance and need to match it all up with the anti-stone chip suff.

Have you tried Gravitex in aerosol form???, you are right though most other aerosol stone chip products don't give a suitable effect, I found graviguard to leave a textured finish when I used it to touch in the sills on my old golf, granted it wasn't as good as that of a Schultz gun but in this instance better than nothing I reckon.
