Why do you need both airbrush and spray gun?

 

You can get a grex airbrush for $200.  Do you have a compressor?

Well I'm not too informed on the equipment side, but I've just been under the impression spray guns were for spraying large areas at once and airbrushes were for more delicate work, e.g. Dubovik's eye technique, or maybe conserving cocoa butter by coloring one cavity at a time

 

I've got a 3 gallon compressor but am eyeing one of the 1 gallon california air tools for the sake of noise.

 

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what does that grex provide that an iwata gravity feed wouldn't?
