Since I got back into 3D printing I really want to fix up my prints now with sanding and coloring. Would airbrushing or traditional painting (paint brush) be better?

    Depends on the size and shape of what you want to print. I print mostly miniatures so for me while it would be nice to have an airbrush for doing primer, zenithal coats or other shadows, and base colour, I would still need brushes so it’s not really that useful. If you’re printing larger things, or things that will only be one color (or that the colours are easy to mask, e.g. a cube with each side one colour) an airbrush will save you a LOT of time.
