Iwata revolution or Eclipe are two of the nicer ones IMO. I have the revolution and like it better than any brush i have owned so far. go to Iwata.com and check them out. there around $60-70 online but i've seen them for around $50-60 in the magazines.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I have painted about 5 bodies so far and have a Paasche Millennium 2 airbrush, duel action.

I am always looking to do more and advance my skills (if I have any). I have another question, when painting thin lines (pencil point or maybe a little larger) with Parma paints, I know to use the smallest tips (#1 on the Paasche airbrush) but what pressure do you spray at? Thanks for any advice on this.

Here are a couple recent bodies I have done, more in my gallery.

SilentWolv,

I just pulled out my bottle of FasGlow from the draw and it did not glow. I shined a light to the paint and later remove it and it started to glow.

Tower offers two sets of the VL (go with the double action type)

I have this one from way back.

I use the larger bottle to flush the airbrush.


This set did not show to have any additional tips or needles. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDD43&P=0

I use Faskolor paint. I also brought this adapter set to spray right from the bottle. No wasted paint being left in spray bottle.

Compressor of your choice (I recommend one with a tank) I would go to HomeDepot, home center or Sears for a compressor. It's cheaper but it's larger in size than the ones offer from the air brush companies unless you need a quiet one to operate in a studio or a shopping mall. An air regulator should come with the compressor if not get one.

You can use the air compressor to clean your car also.

It's recommended that you use an air moisture trap inline to the airbrush.

Or from the store where you brought your compressor
