Definitely give an airbrush a try! Your brush skills are incredible, but airbrushes have great utility for laying down a clean base coat at very least. And they're great at adding glow. There are just several things to know. Having a decent brush definitely matters. If you get used to using a cheap brush, and then try a quality brush, the difference will be stunning. It's a good idea to get a good airbrush primer to lay down a primer coat. And then use airbrush paints with it. You can mix regular acrylic paints with airbrush diluting solution, but it takes a lot of practice to get the viscocity right. Even with airbrush-specific paints, I always find myself having to manually adjust the viscocity using thinner. It's just a skill you have to learn, and it took me several months of effort before I really started to get confident with my airbrush. Works well for 3D prints. I see some crafters who only use airbrush for their prints, and go through the extra effort of masking parts off with tape. I don't go that crazy--I just lay down a base coat with the airbrush, and then brush-paint the rest.
Thank you for all that info! I'm petty sure the one I have is good quality, but it was gifted to me by a friend and it's anywhere between 15-30 years old lol. I would definitely have no patience for masking, but having a uniform basecoat would be great!
