I have used spray guns before and airbrushes and own them . Right now I really don't have an area to use the small spray gun nore do I want to screw it up using fast drying water based finishes . I do have a few aztec plastic made airbrushes designed for the sort of finish and large enough nozzels to do a fair job .

I got the finish from stew mac . I also got white and yellow pigment to do the body a light yellow .

It directs you to mix up to 20% to get a opaque color . Aslo when I spoke to the people at stew mac to order this finish I was told I needed no sealer , the boby is alder and neck maple .

I was also told I could not brush the finish on , but on the can of finish is says you can if thinned 20% with their retarder .

I have brushed nitro before and yes you do need to sand out brush marks , this is not a hardship .

Based on what I have said here which way would be best ?

I'm not sure, but I believe that alder is supposed to be a hard wood to get any kind of paint to dry into. So you might be in for a little trouble.
