Question Airbrush? What One To Get

I am so mixed up on what airbrush to get. Single action, duel action, external mix?

This is what I am looking at:
Paasche H is a single action
or
Iwata Eclipse BCS

What are your thoughts and suggestion.
If it is one of the above, what else do I need to get with it?

I have a 30gal compressor in my garage that I am going to run a line off of into my paint area. Then I am going to get a Regulator/Moisture Trap to put on the end of the line, any other suggestions?

i use a single action bager 350 for the bulk of the paint. i use a double action bager 150 for the detail work. this to me is a great combo been doing it for a long time. plus with all the 40% & 50% off coupons at micheals how cane you go wrong.

That was my second choice get both. If I do that what parts do I need to connect both up the Regulator/Moisture Trap?

What is micheals?

I was going to get my stuff from Dixiart?

You can do all your plug painting with the Iwata. Michaels is a craft store. Most of them have at least some Createx paints. I would pick up the fast blast caps to fit the createx bottles. You'll waste less paint and save $$ in the long run.

Use Dixie art, The site is a little hard to get around but thier prices are good. For colors your planning on using a lot get the bigger bottles. Also by the spraypaint tops for every color.
For the airbrush do a google on the brush you decide on. You may find it cheaper at another store.


Its only art if it don't catch fish!

I want to place the order from dixieart tonight or Mon. Could one of you guys help me out? It is a little confusing on there site like was stated, especially for me not knowing what I am looking for. I know I may be able to get some of the stuff a little cheaper but that's ok. I would rather just place one order and tada done. I Have 250.00 to spend on this. I would really appreciate it.

I feel like a junky needing a fix, this is so addicting

AC Moore -- watch the paper for their 40% off ad. Buy your air brush at one low price. Can't be beat.
