Using an airbrush is something I want to learn. After watching several online videos posted at RCGroups.com I'm amazed at how easy it really is (well, it looks to be). No matter what specific technique or painting scheme you employ it's all really just a matter of practice, practice, practice. The more you do it, the better the result.
In addition to seeing different airbrush techniques demonstrated, I enjoyed watching the video explaining and showing the difference between using rattle can painting versus airbrush painting. The overall results showed that even though it is possible to get good results with regular old spray paint cans (I do alright with them myself) you will definitely have more control with the airbrush. After watching these videos I'm gonna try to "brush" up on my painting skills so that when I get my next RC the paint job on the body will be the envy of all my friends. YouTube is a great place to look if you're trying to get a certain look. It has a lot of decent painting videos. Check out "Ed Hubbs Airbrushing" videos (not RC specific) -- this guy is real good.
Are there a particularly good series of airbrush video tutorials that you recommend? Tell us about them in the comments.
