To me having your own style is far better than making taxidermy quality spearing decoys. I tried the airbrush thing once only to find out I'd have been better off finger painting. I guess what I'm saying is don't think switching to an airbrush will solve all your problems. It's a big investment to find out it may or may not be for you. Make what make you happy and have fun doing it.I've made some real stinkers and the fish didn't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do a decent job with a rattle can too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
