Airbrush advises

[debrito]

Have a good look around! there is some good kit out there @ reasonable prices!

Nice, those look more appetitive regarding the shipping cost...so if I have to choose a brand, I will stick with Badger & Iwata?

Later on I will come back with more question regarding the accessories, like cleaning kit etc...

There are some other very good brands,.. but this is when the cost can escalate! .. both of the above brands carry a range that is reasonable in cost and have quality behind them. But that is just my opinion

Hi, Rodrigo, I use a Paasche VL, double-action, siphon-fed, and a Sears Craftsman 1 HP compressor, 3-gallon tank, maximum 125 psi. I bought that particular compressor because I can use it with some air tools, as well as with the airbrush.

I like the brush, but if I were looking for a new one, I would get a gravity-fed brush. I don't really use the siphon attachment and jars; I use the cup. And when it's mounted in the port, it sticks out to the left or the right. That makes it a little cumbersome to grasp, I find. But it's a minor issue.

I agree about being careful about price. That is, I wouldn't necessarily get the cheapest airbrush you can find, on the idea that it's just for training and you'll soon replace it. I would get a good brush, one that you can train on, and one that will last a long time.

Hope that helps!

Hi Rodrigo, if it would help you, I have an 'Aztek' airbrush that is surplus to my needs. You are more than welcome to it, just for the cost of postage.

Regards

Ron

Ha, Rod! Genau, genau, genau! I think I got mine on sale for $90, but that was about 10 years ago. So far, it works well for me. The only issue I have is that the plastic pressure adjustment knob broke off, so I have to turn the metal stem directly, but that's not a real problem. It is noisy, of course, but that's not a problem for me, either.

Now, you just need to get an airbrush and get started

Prost!
