The thing that bothers me about threads on using an airbrush,as opposed to spraycan, is that most say there will probably be a learning curve.Like the first time you used a spray can you laid down a perfectly smooth,glossy paint job, that it immediately won best paint? Come on everything has a learning curve and some are longer than others. I have no facts about the aerosol vs. airbrush thing,but after the initial cost of the brush and compressor was amortized, I would have to believe that using an AB and bulk paint, it would come out cheaper,and better finish with less polishing/finesseing.
