CShaver8 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I am going to start making crankbaits. How are you guys painting the cranks that you make, and what paint are you using? Janns has an airbrush for $25....do you think it would work? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop10 Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I don't know what they have for $25, but you may outgrow it fairly quick. I would invest in a legitimate double-action airbrush - a Pasche, Badger or Awata - that you can find at a local hobby shop. You'll also need a compressor, but the 2-gallon types they sell at Wal-Mart are cheaper and probably better than those hobby types (even if they are louder.) createx is a good paint, although there are many others.

McGarrett Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 I tried the $25 setup a few years ago and I didn't like it all---it peformed poorly. Follow Scoop's advice...the brands listed all have quality beginner brushes that will perform well and allow you to grow. Good Luck- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CShaver8 Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 How much money are we looking at for an airbrush? I am looking for a nice beginner setup that won't set me back too much money...incase making lures isn't for me. I do already have a small air compressor.

Terrydabassman Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Go to http://www.dixieart.com, they have a great selecion of airbrushes at very good prices. I have the Badger 155 Anthem, the whole set cost like $69 and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
