Airbrush question

My family gave me money (didn't know what to buy me as I have so much fishing "junk" as they call it) for my B-Day. What airbruch do you guys favor? I have been looking at the Aztex dual action brush. It is quite confusing as there are a million brands, models, single action, dual action, etc.

Iwata topfeed is a nice gun for detail and high quality but $$

the Peak line Bearair carries is good general purpose, I have 2 or 3 of those topfeed models, half the money of Iwata but I bet they are china made knockoffs, but decent quality for 50 bucks.


you are right, there's a million choices

Happy Birthday

Great! Now everyone knows my secret green color.

I think I'm going for the Iwata. I have $200 to spend and I have a good compressor so it's basically the brush and tips and paint I need.

Guys, thanks for the help.

So one last question. Any of you guys ahve an airbrush setup you want to sell. Figure I would ask here first. Seems like some have 2 of everything and I'd rather keep the money in the "family".

I'd just say for fishing rattlecans work fine, for pretty an airbrush helps. And after all is said and done, it's a perfectly good hobby.
Have fun

Real men use rattle cans.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Screw the airbrush and buy something that will bring you long term joy like, say, a new driver...

I don't know I've heard an airbrush is pretty similar to golf as far as frustration level goes. I don't think you can throw an airbrush as far as a golf club?
