Air brush & Compressor help!
Posted: Fri Jun 16, 2017 8:04 pm
I've been building cars for many years now & always use aerosols, either Tamiya, Model Masters or Auto paint. For quite a few years I've toyed with the idea of switching to an airbrush but I've always been happy with the finish & made do with the limited colours available in cans. Anyway I'm ready
To make the switch as I want more options for colours.
School me please! Gravity or suction feed? Single or dual action? All I know is I prefer to spend a bit more on a good product rather than buy the cheapest option. I know I want a compressor with a tank so the motor is not always running. I've called a few local hobby shops here & they all recommended cheap Chinese unheard of brands, which was a little disappointing.
Also I paint a lot of Metallic paints so I'm not sure if this will affect which airbrush I'll need.
It's a minefield of different options & brands. Can anyone recommend on what you use for brands & models for airbrush & compressor.
