looking for an airbrush
Posted in
Custom WorkstationHi long time lurker first time posting, I've been tinkering around with my own customs for a little more than a year now most of what I've learned I learned it here. So I have finally decided to buy an airbrush and was wondering what some of you more experienced customizers would recommend. Money is a bit of an issue but I'm willing to make an investment if its worth it would also like to know if I should go with a compressor with a tank or if aerosol cans are sufficient.

Please wait...

Action Figure on eBay
Iwata, Paasche, Badger, they're all airbrush makers and produce quality products. You can make it as expensive as you want. But a gravity fed, dual action brush like the Iwata Eclipse I have is a real pleasure to work with and, also pretty important, easy to maintain.
As far as an airbrush, I have used a Paasche Talon gravity feed (paint cup on top of the brush) and I love it. It was a gift, so I never really looked at the price, but the parts are cheap to get and easy to find.
As far as Siphon vs Gravity feeds, I think it depends on what you are looking to spray/how much you are spraying/your preference. Siphon is nice if you are spraying a lot of area as you can mix up multiple bottles of what you want and quickly swap out. Gravity is nice because it is less to clean and tends to do finer lines.
