No paint gun. I was contemplating an airbrush and small compressor from Harbor Freight, not it's not a fancy Paasche but it seems to be a decent brush.
I did get a small sprayer bottle, so I filled it up with alcohol and throroughly wetted the next section of ballast - it did help. I now have one section between turnouts ballasted, as soon as the glue all dries I'll pose a loco and take a picture. The edges are pretty rough but I figure when I put down ground cover that will take care of that - right now it's ballast on painted pink foam, no grass or other ground cover.
