                        An alternative with a more powerful compressor. Either one should work well for you.

                        thanks!...thats the kind of info i was looking for...i didnt see if there was any shipping with that...

                        that is the same price as the combo i was already looking at...but i am assuming since it is iwata the quality can be unchalanged...

                        any other opinions?...

                        The airbrush is Iwata, but the compressor is a house brand of Airbrush-depot. It is more powerful than the Passche DA500 that you selected, even though the Badger 100G or the Iwata HP-CS would not need the extra CFM or psi. It is a personal perference between the two options. Both should work well for you.

                        Airbrush-depot charge for shipping. They also sell their items cheaper on Ebay than the internet store. If interested, you may want to check their Ebay store too.

                        thanks you very much...that definitly expanded my options...

                        i will probably just stick with the badger 100g and the paasche compressor...no shipping so complete price is $204...cant go wrong with that...

                        I got the Iwata HP-CS on sale at Hobby Lobby for about $110 and Harbor Freight had a sale on compressors for $60....I got a great combo for less than $200
