Hey everyone,

Trying to make the switch to using an airbrush. I just recently got a $300 gift card to Amazon and was going to use it to get a good setup. Any advice on what I might look for? I hear Iwata and Badger are gear, but I'm not real familiar with all the different models they have.

There are quite a few threads on this same topic, just look around or use the "Search" function.

I would suggest this setup.

You will have to choose the hoses and fittings. In order to attach that compressor to that airbrush you will need these two fittings and some Teflon tape.

These parts will get your airbrush up and running.
