Airbrush sugestions needed

I would recommend a double action airbrush

Second, third! Some of the design of the newer knock-offs from China look pretty good. They allow the user to build up skill faster, capable of more detail and are easier to clean when compared to the old external mix, single action design. Therefore, a better value for the money.

I have play a little with the Neo for Iwata. It is NOT an Iwata and is not parts exchangable with Iwata, but is one of the better designed clone and excellent value for $38 in the US. Very good atomization, good balance in hand and very smooth trigger.

I second that last remark. Yes, double action airbrushes are harder to get the hang of but inevitably, if your single action one is to your liking you are going to have to open your wallet a second time to purchase a double action ab....

Food for thought...?

I would recommend a double action airbrush, where you can separately control air flow and paint amount.  Iwata makes some very good ones.  Not much different in price from single action.

Paashe H is a pretty solid reliable single action.

Not sure how it compares price wise to others up there in Canada though.

the iwata neo is nothing new. its not even made by them. chinese made with their name on it. nothing special for $70. you can get a badger patriot 105 for $62 http://www.chicagoairbrushsupply.com/ and it will blow away the neo. 

this isn't any help because he wants a single action. 

Google Iwata Neo, a new a/b designed by Iwata, but made by a subsidiary, about UKP£47 / USD$70

or Premi Air G35, about UKP£42.50 /  USD$77.00

The Paasche H and Badger 350 both do a nice job.  Stay away from the Chinese copies.
