Nebenfish Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I was planning onusing my tax return to buy and airbrush so that i can start making hard baits. My question is what do I need to get started ( beside an airbrush, crompressor, paints, etc.) I guess my question is what are some things that a newbie wouldnt think of at first. thanks for you help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
