new to air brushing ...... ice blanks specifically

New to air brushing.. Want to paint some ice blanks. normally I use krylon fusion which is real flexible and doesn't crack. But they don't have all the colors that I need. Do I need to be concerned with paint cracking (there will be a coat of clear coat over it) for ice blanks? Suggestion on make and model and decent company to deal with please.
thanks, Buzz

Rustoleum 2X spray cans come in a LOT of colors - maybe give that a look.

P.S. I don't get the whole "special colored blanks" thing, but I guess I'm not very fashion-minded....

Its ice fishing Dan, when you are staring down a hole waiting for a fish to swim by you at least have to look cool while you are not catching them...............

they will have some of the stuff, if you get the 40% off coupon on line you can get a good deal on one of the Iwatas HP-CS, ($) the Neo (less than 100)gets a lot of people started. you probably already have a compressor, so you need a regulator to get way down in pressure, sometimes as low as 5psi.
