What airbrush do you use?

Thanks for the info on the compressors and the link.

I know people use an inner tube Roger. But before I got my compressor I used an old gas bottle. Attach a regulator to the top. Fill it up at the local service station. It's silent so you can even spray without anyone knowing about it.

The propellant cans work out too expensive to keep buying. Cost a small fortune that could be better spent on cars.

Interesting thread...

I used to use a Miller compressor and a pair of those cheapie single action brushes that Ember mentioned.

As with most things, now that I want to use them again I cant find the bloody box they are in, I think they might be in the roof of our house.

Anyway, I ended up getting another cheapie single action off EBay and a Paasche single action kit that has a couple of different needle sizes in it.

Dont need dual action for the basic stuff I want to be doing, and as Ember says the single actions are a snap to keep clean.

I also invested in a new compressor, $89 gets you a regulated compressor with a three litre tank and water trap, heaps better than my old Miller.

A bit over a hundred bucks for a spray booth as well.

I cant believe the price of this sort of stuff nowadays, you can get yourself a really good setup for a few hundred bucks.

The world has gone quite nutty.....

I have this little simple Tamiya unit. Look maa, no electrical cord! Uses a 7.2v rechargeable nicad RC car battery or I can plug it in. Lays down thinned Tamiya acrylic paint well too.

Bonus. External mix. Easy clean. Good way to start.
