I brush mine on, about 4 coats. Draw your disign on the outside of your shell and precut everything.

don`t use your airbrush it will clog up,and you will just have to keep cleaning it .giving your self a headache ,brush it on with a small foam brush at least 3 coat`s

See that's what I was thinking, the guy at my LHS said that if you thinned it down enough it works, I have a cheap airbrush from harbor freight that I was going to use it with but if its like your saying I'll just stick to a brush.
