MARKAVELI Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Looking to buy an airbrushgun maybe a kit. I had one in my early teens,not sure what brand it was but it worked awsome. I worked at McDonalds and saved up forever to get it. I like to use it for painting superheros in my kids rooms and OH my Firearms! Anyone in the Brianenos land using one or recomend a nice setup? thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Rust Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Iwata makes a nice kit. Check out the hp-cs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncopenshooter Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The Harbor Freight one isn't bad (the one that comes with a compressor) as long as you also buy the inline moisture trap (cheap). After that, go nuts on paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Finger Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Iwata makes a nice kit. Check out the hp-cs +1 also HP-BCS is a bottom feed with bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 If you have a Hobby Lobby in your area they have a very good selection of airbrushes and kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogan Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've been using a Pasche VL for the past 18 years. From models to mass producing R/C car bodies. I've never had a problem with it. You DON'T need a special compressor for an airbrush. If you already have a shop compressor, you can put together an adapter with an inline moisture trap/filter from your local Home Depot/Lowes. You can even find an adapter that lets you run the airbrush off a spare tire! I think I paid around $140 for my VL back in the day. After that, get some paint and get started!

MARKAVELI Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 T hanks jogan, I will do more searching on pasche vl. I like the eclipse probably a highend airbrush (eclipse) what would be best to suit my needs the hp-sc or hp- bsc? "IF" I was to go with a Iwata... I am looking to get a 26gal air tank (atleast its s thought) your saying I can use something like that but would need a moisture trap and adaptors to be able to use it for the air brushgun?

Powder Finger Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 the sc has a small paint cup, about the diameter of a quarter at the top. the bcs uses bottles that can be maybe 4 or 5 ounces in volume. I have both and would say the bcs suits more jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogan Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 You don't HAVE to put a moisture trap on it.....If you don't plan on doing any extended spraying and can keep up with a little maintenance, you can get away without the moisture trap. I drain my tank to get the water out about twice a month and I do NOT have a moisture trap on my setup and haven't had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
