Advice on Airbush kits?
« on: August 02, 2013, 10:23:55 PM »
I was just diagnosed with arthritis, and am having a problem painting ponies because it hurts my hands :yikes: and my hands are so shaky it makes it hard to make the paint look good.  :cloud: SO I've decided to take the next step in custom ponies and get myself a airbrush kit! :frolic:

BUT, I know nothing about them :help: SO I was hoping maybe you guys could help give me a hand here in making the right choice  :P Umm what models do you use or recommend and how much did you spend?

Oh and are any of these any good? http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=airbrush+kits&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=3932009631&hvpos=1s3&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18383945401869941934&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_529rebrz6y_b


Oh and any good videos/tutorials on how to use them that you've seen would be nice too :biggrin:

Thanks ahead of time!

I got a Paasche VL set after asking the same question on here many years ago. It works great, though I do need more practice. It's pretty easy to use as well.

As far as an air compressor goes we already had one for our tools so I just use that one but there are the ones made specifically for the airbrush use.

I want to say I spent $60ish on it.

I got an Iwata Eclipse for about $130 (not including the air compressor which I already owned) and I LOVE it. Although I can't compare it to others because I haven't used them. Definitely get a 'dual action' trigger one that lets you can control the amount of paint that comes out.

Thats the one I was thinking of getting, is it any good? Or would it be better to buy the airbrush and the compressor separate? Does any air compressor work?
