    There is no reason not to buy a good airbrush right away. And mind you, expensive doesn’t always mean good. And breaking an airbrush….? There are two weak things on an airbrush and those are the needle and the nozzle. As long as you take care in not bending the needle or over torque the nozzle, you’ll be fine.

    I am looking into getting a airbrush set up but need some help. I have never airbrushed before so I have no idea what to look for. I was told the badger renegade velocity was a good brush but I figured I would ask for some of your opinions.
    I would also like to know what other items I should get along with a airbrush and compressor.
    Any…[Read more]

      this link should be good if your getting ur first airbrush honestly i wouldnt spend too much on ur first one its easier to get a cheaper one play with it for a while then get something expensive like…[Read more]

      • i dont mind spending a little more if it gets me a solid airbrush. I figured buying a more expensive one up front wouldnt hurt as long as I dont break it. I just want to make sure what im getting wont be to hard to use and will work properly lol. If the pack you linked works well for you then I may get it.

        • well its actually better if u start with something cheap. buying something expensive doesnt always mean its the best but starting out is always better to start small and get more experience and then go to the big guns using a cheap airbrush and a expensive airbrush itll be the same with how they operate and plus breaking an airbrush is really easy…[Read more]

          • alright yeah ill probably end up getting the one you recommended. I was just worried that it wouldnt spray as nice or something lol. Thanks for the help.

    • I’d suggest going with a single action airbrush first. a dual or double action airbrush is just an added complication you don’t need to be dealing with, though when you’re more comfortable with airbrushing then you may want to go get a double action it’ll give you better control of the paint and airflow. Other than that you definitely want to…[Read more]

      • I was thinking the same thing about the single action but I’m not sure I want to buy a airbrush and then buy another one within a few months or a year. Are double actions that much harder? I was told to get a double action. Also I can’t believe I didn’t think about the airbrush holder lol. That wouldn’t of been good. Thanks for the suggestion.

        • well double action theres alot more controlling u have to do and it take a while to get used to it it aint too bad but it takes some time to get used to single action theres no control over ur spraying its just like coming out of a spray can just normal air and u cant control how much paint u want on it

        • yes the holder is easy to overlook but if you start spraying and don’t have one it’ll get on your shopping list pretty fast lol.

          the double action airbrushes give you more control over paint and airflow, which can be nice, but for just basic painting a single action is good enough. it’s up to you how you want to go about it. if you think you’re…[Read more]
