Air Brush?

Post by Bobcat320 »

Question for those of you who have done it for awhile - Can you give me recommendations on a good quality air brush?
Bought what I thought was decent one on Amazon and it only lasted a little over a month...
thanks,

First let me ask what happen to your airbrush. Cleaning is the most important thing to keeping your air brush performing well. A lot of air brushes are ruined my not cleaning properly or by cleaning with harsh solvents not intended for your air brush. I have a expensive air brush but very rarely use it in my metal work. I use two of these https://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush- ... QH1A4FPNK7 They come with 3 different needles so they very versatile and very Cheap. If you mess one up like I did (stepped on it) just throw it in the can and order another one. For the money you can't beat them. Hope this helps.

Thanks Rick!
It basically just fell apart, wife ordered new parts worked awhile then fell apart again and the compressor quit. She was cleaning it with Windex which is what the paint manufacturer said to use. Will check into your suggestion on a new one!
