I think that airbrushes are a very personal taste,some cannot live without them others like Richard find the hassle of cleaning a put off,I also know of people who cannot use them for respiratory reasons,one thing that has been noticed is that they appear more popular in the States,one such group that I contribute to are surprised when they see my hand painted creations.
Having said that I like the Halfords aerosol sprays with those fine diffusers,for basic broad colours like white etc you cannot beat them,their basic universal white primer is excellent as well,whilst not cheap they go a long way and you do not have to clean them either.
Everyone to his or her own again but as people point out,just because you own an airbrush it does not guarantee a good finish,you need to work hard to achievei it.
