Airbrush noob...
Hey you guys, anyone have experience or thoughts about either of these for an AB noob..?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SprayMaster-4-...item43a1999ea1 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I will be painting shells mostly using water base acrylic... will these be suitable for needle/nozzle size and working pressure? I know it ain't, but it has a look of the (too pricey..) Iwat* jet series..!

You can airbrush with a spare tire and a pressure regulator attached to the valve stem, so really anything that supplies a consistent, clean PSI and doesn't wake the neighbors is a good compressor.
I use a 3 gal pancake compressor from Porter Cable that is used mostly by roofers for nail guns. A water trap and a pressure regulator and I can spray all day. You don't need anything fancy unless you are in an apartment and want something über quiet and tiny. doug |

6 months warranty? hmm...
as for the brush, it doesn't say but guessing by the model name it might be a .3 setup. I had a go with pactra when i first got my brush. That was a .5 and you needed to thin the paints a fair bit. So if you do get that brush, buy alot of thinners to keep in stock. |

the nozzle and needle are matched, as in you have a set size needle for a set size nozzle, the bigger the nozzle the more paint, or thicker the paint will flow through without spluttering and all sorts.
For most paints I use 0.5mm is the minimum size, and with faskolor/createx most paints still need a little thinning down.
