getthenet20 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am looking into buying an airbrush set. What are the best brands and what will I need to get started? I just bought a bunch of 1oz. Bottles of vinyl paint, can I still use this. I found one at my local hobby lobby and I can get 40% off. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/pro...96734/ Is this a good deal?

RayburnGuy Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Couldn't get your link to work so can't reply to the brush in question. As far as your question about the best brush I would have to go with Iwata. I tried a couple of cheaper brushes before buying my Iwata and they can't hold a candle to it. Hobby Lobby also carries the Iwata brand so your 40% off coupon would still be valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalljaw Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 I may be mistaken but I don't think Vinyl can be used in an airbrush, there is specific paint made just for airbrusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still airbrush the vinyl paint...but it 1st needs to be thinned out. And I could only find vinyl paint thinner at any of the lure building supply stores..ie...netcraft lurecraft...etc....i have a paasche airbrush and it works for me very well...i used to use the cheap harbor freight air brush and still do if i am airbrushing shades and/or single colors....because if it breaks...who cares. But for the more detailed stuff i use the good stuff. The air brush made by harbor freight is just easy to tear apart and beat up on. BASS and other Mags have coupons for HF to make it even cheaper. But for the meat and bones colors DEFINITELY a higher end airbrush is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
