>>7287528>>7287296The airbrush is only half the equation. A good quality double action airbrush is a must, however equally as important is a good quality air compressor.
The ones sold in craft stores and hobby stores are shit. They are too weak and don't output the psi that is needed for good quality work. Ironically a good compressor is easy to find and are not too expensive compared to hobby grade units.
For my needs I use a 3.5 or 10 gallon compressor that was sold in big lots or other hardware stores. The compressor ran something like $20.00 They are better in quality, much more powerful, and are more cost effective then the hobby grade ones. All you need to add to the airbrush to adapt it to work on the compressor is a quick connect fitting to the air hose which you can find with the compressor for about 2 bucks. to save some cash you can also find a second hand one at a flea market or craigslist, although do some homework on the condition as the last thing you need to do is spend cash on a worn out lemon
Also they are a good investment as you can use them for other tasks as outside of airbrushing like filling car or bike tires, de dusting / cleaning computer and other electronics, filling up inflatable pool toys... etc
Something like pic related, harbor freight has them for little over $50.00. This would last you a lifetime
