I have a lot of great info and some great examples now, so it sounds like I just need to try them myself and find what works best for me.

+1. That's the way to go!

Hmm... Kiz finds what
works for him, then he
promptly forgets it...


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

HuskerN, you're right about small amounts of paint used for airbrushing.  I often only use half of an eye dropper of paint in the airbrush.  I still use a jar under my airbrush, but I also do have a cup (much smaller than the jar).  But IMO, either one is just as easy to clean.  I don't see a problem with using the airbrush for small jobs like that.

Have you considered installing a paint booth to be able to paint (airbrush and spray cans) in your workshop, all year around?
