If it hasn't been used I THINK it would be fine. BUT...the cake airbrushes are designed special and they use less pressure and/or have variable pressure so you aren't blowing holes through your buttercream. I have a Kopykake machine and I LOVE it!! thumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gifthumbs_up.gif I HIGHLY recommend their brand. Here's a link too, cheers!

I was wondering the same thing when I was shopping around for an airbrush. And mthiberge is right, some airbrushes have too much pressure and will blow holes in your cake. I was considering buying one of those airbrush sets from WalMart for model car painting and I had read where some people said that those would work. They run about $65.oo, but my DH bought me a kopykake back in August and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I use mine all the time. I got the small airbrush from kopykake (the kroma jet) and it was $200 for everything. I got the airbrush, tank, a box of 11 colors, and a big bottle of cleaner, and that covered shipping. Good luck and HTH.
