Advantages:
- Versatility - With a single instrument you can have a spray pattern as narrow as a few millimetres, and as wide as several centimetres. A spray can has a fixed spray pattern and you need to mask extensively to paint smaller areas.
- More versatility - You are not limited to the colours available in spray cans. You can use any of a wide variety of hobby paints and/or mix your own custom colours.
- Generally speaking, an airbrush will provide finer atomisation of paint than a spray can. This provides a much smoother finish.
