If your worried about noise, you can build a silent compressor from an old fridgerator motor. I think I still have the plans laying around for that. I've always had a big compressor,.....my cousin had one of those small compressors and I thought it was loud and annoying sounding, kinda like a pair of hair clippers in your ear.

If you look at Coast Airbrush, you can buy it all from there for the best price. You need, Airbrush, watertrap/ regulator, and airhose. Make sure you get the hose made for Iwata, ......iwata, pasche, badger all have different connections. If you got the wrong hose you can always get an adapter.

Thanks Mike........and thanks Rayburnguy, I think I had seen one of those sites, I probly overlooked what I was looking for. Been reading so much am starting to get crosseyed . Again, get the lake ready for me, hooking up the 5th wheel and boat to head to Hanks Creek Park Friday!! Love Rayburn so much better than our lake down here in Livingston!!!

I am just starting out doing lures, but make a living with my airbrushes doing custom paint work. I have 2 iwata eclipse gravity feed, and wouldn't use anything else......you can get pretty detailed with them .3 nozzles I think they are like 125.00 at coast airbrush. My detail brush is a Richpen mojo. 300.00 from mike learn airbrush. My big guns are iwata also 550.00 for my LPH400 clear gun ......my motto is, pay now or pay later.....you can't put a price on good quaility

Of course I am new to this.......Can someone tell me where to find propellers and the little( I don't know what you call it) like little bearing spacer that goes between the lure and propeller. I am working on something similar to a torpedo. Also, I keep reading about topcoats, and have seen a gy dip his then hang to dry. What is the best topcaot that you can dip with? Thanks, Brent

Andy.."Rayburnguy" get the lake ready for me, We will be at HanksCreek Park next 3 weekends just chillin and fishing a little!

I order my paints from coastairbrush.com , cheapest prices I have found.

Hello eveyone, I am new here.......I do custom paint and airbrush for a living. I have to second the motion here that pizz made. I started out painting deer, fish etc. when doing taxidermy work, and used Polytranspar Laquer based.....loved it. Tried waterbase and didnt care for it except for doing Tees. I Have used createx, aqua-flow, and spectratex (Badger) waterbased textile paints for doing T-shirts and aqua-flow and spectratex is my choice. For eveything else I use solvent based PPG basecoat along with urethane clear coats. I have 5 airbrushes for my solvent base and about 24 for waterbased T-shirt paint. My Tshirt easel has 20 airbrushes on it with 12 being iwatas that I haven't cleaned in probly 8 months and can go pick em up and pick the end of the needle, blast a few times and spray away. Iwatas will spray createx fine depending on the needle size you have. All my textile brushes have a .005 needle, if your trying to shoot it through like a .003, yes I can see the problems you have. Createx also makes a waterbased line that alot of guy's use for hard surface that can't spray solvent based, called "Auto Air". I have never used it but have read you need to use a hair dryer to heat and dry each coat. I haven't built any baits "yet" but am wanting to and my automotive solvent based is what I am planning on using for that. I do have a 14x26 spray booth in my shop so it's not a big deal. I know of some guys that have done hard surface stuff with the wicked line createx and with E-Tac waterbased and cleared it with uro clear.......just not my cup of tea. As Pizz said, nothing sprays like uro's, but it is solvent based.

What is that machine?... what is it called I mean.
