i saw an airbrush kit in the hobby car section at wal mart, it was 20 bux canadian and it included like 8 different paints, the can of air that made the paint come out said "ozone" on it, are these good for painting/detailing bits? ohh and btw how long does that can last and is it easy to find new ones?

Usually those Air brushes are ran from just regular canned air, and most hobby shops should have them

I have had two Testors $20 airbursh kits. They use a can of propellant. If its anything like the ones I had then it will probably only be good for painting but not detailing. Usually the cheap ones will only have one nozzle/tip so control may be limited. I also found it was difficult to keep them clean, I don't think I ever ended up getting more than a few paintjobs (on 1/24 scale models) before I decided to get rid of one. The upside of the cheap airbursh is with properly thinned paint you can usually get good smooth and even paint jobs. You can also mix your own colors if you are daring enough
