just tried out the airbrush. never used/owned one before but after threat of divorce if i used spray cans anymore and a generous santa claus, it was time. i used some ceramcoat paint i had around, thinned it a bit, and just sprayed basic black on some swimmers i had ready. what a joy! no choking fumes, no stinky basement and the brush is a pisser to use. my wife and dog are happy as well!
brushes are easy to clean, stripped them both down and reassembled fairly easy. i can tell there is whole LOT to learn though:uhuh:

:nopics:
Lets see em!

i understand that.....after 2 years without one! if you're quitting good luck and stay the course, well worth it!

Today was somewhat better but it's still hard to think clearly.

I'm tired of using spray cans also and read with interest your transition to an airbrush. I was wondering if you use a spray booth of any kind with teh air brush and if so, what's your set up like?

Jeff my friend, I know exactly what you mean!

so far, no spray booth. i have an old one i built for spraycans that has been taken apart. i'm using the shell now without a fan, going to build a new one soon. using ceramacoat paint, acrylic/water soluble. i wear a mask, no odor though..... here are some pix, some were done with spray cans to use up what i have left (cannot afford not too!). they are hanging in a dryer my friend built, e-texed and done!

Use a hammer.

I still use cans for white/black/yellow. I use the brush for detail work.
