Airbrush setup that won't break the bank

Recommended Posts

I started out using a cheap airbrush off ebay designed to paint finger nails. XD I think it cost around $15? Nonetheless, I could paint lures with it. However, the air compressor would get hot quickly, so I 3D printed a case for it with a fan. I could run it for hours like that. I eventually got an entry level compressor to avoid that headache.

You can find them cheaper overseas or at walmart. I don't think it gets much cheaper than that to get your feet wet.

I was looking at something about the same price on amazon. Will probably do that. What type of paints should I purchase?

Sorry, I've been away for some time. You can buy specialized airbrush paints... Or you can go to walmart etc., buy any simple acrylic paint, and thin it yourself with a Isopropyl alcohol and windex mixture. Youtube the mixture for a gist. I forget the amounts.
