One can get very small bottles for about $4 or $5 from black gold or coast air, enough to do multiple models

That may be why, I buy my stuff for automotive and use the extra on models. I buy enough flake to mix a couple quarts. Everybody is talking about these small bottles for models, I havent seen any, so I just use the extra.

What would be the best type of air brush for spraying things like metal flake?

the airbrush itself should not make alot of difference, you just need a spray nozzle that is large enough to let the flake pass through easily
