do you mean the tamiya spray cans?
if so then they may be two large a spray fan you could mask the area not wanting to be sprayed really well or handpaint them on or invest in an airbrush?
hope that helps

if you do get an airbrush, instead of propelant cans, which work out bloody expensive, use the spare wheel from a car. you can get an adapter to fit the valve and either pump it back up with a footpump or get a little tyre inflator comp. just until you get a bigger compressor.
