Brother Glacius Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 So I'm looking to get a fairly basic airbrush to go along with my setup. I already have a nice detailed brush, so this one is going to be used to do basecoats and the like. Due to the fact that I have an Amazon gift card and they have pretty darn good prices, I was going to get it from there. I found one that has a trigger setup. Just wanted to get some feedback on that. I would hope it would do fine for basecoats. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KNFOKE?psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Also, gravity feed vs siphon feed? this one seems to be a better brand based on reviews and fits perfectly within my budget: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Multi-Purpose-Dual-Action-Airbrush-Exclusively/dp/B00A4MWPL6/ref=sr_1_29?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1422396104&sr=1-29&keywords=master+airbrush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingpin Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I had a siphon feed and didn't like it. Now I am also not the best painter in the world but I use my airbrush mostly for base coats. I just didn't like the fact it left paint in the bottom of the jar. My gravity feed uses everything that I put in it. The one really good thing about siphon feed is you can get extra jars and do color changes really quick.

Bosco Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Dual action (top mounted, traditional trigger) gravity feed cup with a reasonable capacity is the way to go. http://www.amazon.com/Master-G233-SET-Multi-Purpose-Dual-Action-Airbrush/dp/B0067BAYNO/ref=sr_1_7?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1422563287&sr=1-7&keywords=dual+action+airbrush&pebp=1422563296993&peasin=B0067BAYNO That one above looks to be of similar price to your other links and has multiple needle sets you can use to adjust it's area of coverage, etc. as needed. Decent rating, though based on the reviews you might need to adjust the air pressure according to the paint/needle being used, etc. A lot of people don't get that importance well and then complain about their garbage results. Also, depending on your habits, clean frequently. I find mixing a large volume of paint in a dropper bottle and only using a small amount at a time to be a better practice than filling the cup and spraying without pause.

Brother Glacius Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 leaning towards this one now...although it is almost double of what I wanted to spend: http://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-All-Purpose-Precision-Dual-Action/dp/B0026SHUMA/ref=pd_sbs_ac_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1M12K9WMD06DH6HW72XV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I went ahead and ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067ANGT4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was the perfect sweet spot in cost, and seemed to have all of the extras.
