air brush kits
« on: 09/11/19 14:57 UTC »
Anybody have thoughts on a reasonable priced/beginner level airbrush kit that will get me airbrushing paint on ice blade jigs? I have been looking on amazon and they sell a couple kits for $79-$100 just not sure if they are worth it?

Been kicking this idea around myself. I’m leaning towards a gravity fed single action for small jobs. Curious to see the experts reply

I like this 0.5 brush as it don't clog as much and I can shoot any and all craft paint through it... If I want more detail, I make or use a stencil.

What kind of compressor and paints do you recommend for lures? Most of the kits on Amazon are master performance. Are these decent to start with?

I have a Badger Patriot 105 and love it. I use createx standard airbrush paints and seal with CS Sealcoat. Many of the less expensive and cheaper kit guns lay down way too much paint, especially if you are going to do blades that small. Gravity feed is easier to maintain and keep clean.

I use a simple pancake compressor with a built in regulator.
