In my opinion, painting is an art. Airbrushing is a slightly different art.

That said, I have learned enough of the painting art to spray a decent automobile, using a siphon gun. I have also sprayed some decent plastic parts, fiberglas parts, and in one instance sprayed a Cub stripe on masked-off Super Coverite, all with spray bombs. I'm confident enough to try spraying with a gun or a spray can.

That said, I'm thinking that if I want some airbrush work done, I'm going to contact an airbrush artist, and hire it done. That will save me the cost of the airbrush and the pain of the initial self-teaching.

If you want to be an airbrush artist, or you have that inclination to do it yourself, you'd have probably already purchased that airbrush. If not, I suggest you check around autobody shops and T-shirt shops and contact their airbrush artists. They might make you a good deal.

Just my opinion,
Dave Olson
