So, the tittle says all. I need to buy an airbrush and I have no idea what to buy. What do you think about this one?



I dont know about the tanks, but Im sure my nails will look way nicer, lol.

You'll want to remove the cover from compressor cause they get HOT doing a tank. Tanks are WAY bigger then nails.

It should work just fine but check out the airbrush itself reviews.

I tried to find reviews of that airbrush but no luck so far... It also seems to not to have a brand.

Looks like chinesse stuff...

Well even the Chinese stuff works well for a little while.
I got a 3 pack of airbrushes and compressor off ebay for like $100 shipped to me. The airbrushes lasted for a while but the chrome finish came off and then they didn't work so good anymore. The compressor still works great! I ordered a real Paasche airbrush off Amazon and so far it all works great.

I have a similar set up that came from amazon. It's a Chinese compressor it works fine no problems a year or so in, I did upgrade to a better paasche brush.

Thanks guys, I'll probarbly buy it.

I searched this forum for tips on which airbrush to buy and came up with this :

Hi. It seems to be the same brand as the one I linked. The price is good but the postage kills it. (Im in Austria)

Thanks

I have a very similar airbrush and compressor. I've only done a couple of tanks with it but it work well enough for me.

Rad, when it comes to airbrushes you'll get a lot of different opinions, but I've been using them for over 40 years and I have just one word for you ... Iwata. They're the "Snap-On" of airbrushes. Buy the best the first time and you only buy once. As for compressors, I use a cheap Harbor Freight 3 gallon pancake compressor, ($40 and I've had it almost five years) but make absolutely sure you get a decent water trap. With a good regulator and a decent water trap you can get air from anywhere. I once used an airpig and a black & decker tire pump to do airbrush work and as long as the Iwata gets a constant, dry feed, it doesn't care how it gets there.

I personally use the Iwata HP-CS gravity feed, but they have a wide variety. I also have a couple of Testors airbrushes, and they make good primer guns.
