Airbrushed Camaro 5, Phoenix, Arizona, United States

Airbrushes are also suitable for painting murals.
• Hobby
Airbrushes are commonly used by scale modeling enthusiasts because finer coats can be laid down, as well as opaque effects, like weathering, adding stains etc. The fine atomization of paint in modern airbrushes also makes it possible to accurately reproduce soft-edged mottled camouflage schemes, which are very hard to do convincingly by hand-brushing(Luftwaffe aircraft are a good example of this). They are also used because they do not melt polystyrene when spraying; this can be useful when someone has made scenery out of polystyrene.
Many Radio Control hobbyists also use the airbrush to create works of art on the lexan bodies. The paint jobs range from a basic one-color paint job to fine detailed works of art.
