Enamel paint , like Humbrol , is oil-based , and does require thinning to spray through an airbrush. It still has the problem of taking around 8 hours to dry, so several coats to cover , would have to be done on separate days! I would'nt recommend spraying enamel !
Humbrol do now do several of their colours in aerosol - Humbrol Hobby Spray - although this is acrylic , and you can apply 2 or 3 coats within the hour , and it will be touch dry in a couple of hours .
I always try to use the Halfords car range of paints , as these have most colours available in aerosols , off the shelf.
