Hey folks, just wrapped up my near final trout swimbait painting pattern with a few pointers from a local taxidermist.

I have been painting crankbaits the old fashioned way and am thinking about upgrading to an airbrush. I have some questions, though, before I buy one. It's a little confusing, since I don't know anything about them. At this point I wouldn't be using it all that frequently, so I would like to get...
