Airbrushes?

Col, Hogan,

As you have probably noticed you will get as many different opinions as responses from different folks.  IMHO, I would stick to a well known brand nave.  FSM has printed some informative comparison articles of different types / brands.  An airbrush is just another tool and a precision instrument.  Some have more capabilities than others, but I believe a lot has to do with the operator.  I have seen some beautiful work come from the Paasche H as well as the dual action gravity types.  Most complaints I have heard are a result of not proberly cleaning and rough handling.  Keep it clean and don't use it as a hammer and whatever you choose that fits comfortably in your hand and can afford should give you years of good service and do what you want it to.

Hi Hogan,great to hear you in the market for an airbrush. It is an essential tool whatever /however you get on with it at first . all the guys will give good advice on which is a good one for you,but I have two very important tips for you to make your spraying a success. A steady air supply is essential a good compressor with regulator to change air pressure and maintain it. Next  stir your paint for 6 to 8 minutes by hand .use electric tool to save time. add thinner,a bit at a time so paint drips off stirrer .you look for a quick run then drip,drip,drip....seriously get a great compressor and have lots of fun practising. I use devillbis for very fine work ,badger for coating ....smithbren30@yahoo.co.uk.any probs mate feel free.....
