A portable aerosol for use with an airgun or airbrush. Propellant is useful for modellers who only airbrush occasionally and don't wish to invest in a compressor. Like any aerosol, the pressure will decrease as the unit becomes spent and it's important to monitor the quality of the paint delivery as you go. See Choosing paint and painting tools.
