I have a really nice gun and compressor. But I can't be bothered to use it because I can do the same thing with a brush. I find it doesn't save any time, although it good for getting a smooth gradient on a flat plate if you can't do it with a brush.
Airbrushed are an overrated gimmick.
This is a really outlandish thing to say. If you're spending that much time prepping, unclogging, and cleaning,
you're doing it wrong, and essentially coming to the conclusion that "cars are an overrated gimmick" because you're trying to drive with your feet.
Well he says he can do the same thing with a brush, and also you get different looks, one might like the look of something.
Yes, I'm not making an anti-brush argument. There are a billion things that I can't do with an airbrush, or that are just easier with a brush. I'm sure not painting eyes with my airbrush.
That's the problem with this argument. It's not either/or, at all. No one is stopping you from painting your living room with a #0 paintbrush, but it's going to take a really long time, and you're not going to get a very good, consistent coat, but claiming that's the only option and the paint roller and pan is a gimmick just because you can't load it right is crazypants.
It's literally like arguing "spoon or fork". You can probably get by with either or, but you're going to generally have a better time with both.
