Thanks guys, I do have an airbrush already. Can't remember much about it. I know it is a dual action. I bought it for my dad when he retired because he wanted to tinker with making and painting balsa cranks. I paint maybe 10-20 baits a year usually just what i bang up during the year fishing, so i'm not looking to fork too much cash out. My old compressor was given to me by a friend and it was a beast of a unit, but it pooped out on me the other night and I got on Ebay and that paasche unit had a few minutes left on it so I did a quick search and of course the first thing I found said it was the deal for airbrushing baits and I bid on it and won it for like $45. I may just resale it and buy something bigger. I'll check Michaels for the paint, I like to be able to get it as I need it as opposed to ordering more than I need but I hate having to wait on a shipment to arrive if I run out as well so if I can find a dealer near by that would be great. I've always used pactra paint in the past, any input on that? Thanks a bunch guys.

Hi everyone, sorry to pester you guys with more rookie questions but after several searches I'm still not sure about a couple things. First of all, I bought a Paasche D500 air compressor spur of the moment on ebay. I did a quick search on it and another tackle site said it was a popular choice for lure painters. Later that night I found this site and it seems most of you use more powerful compressors. Anyhoo, my first question is where do I purchase a regulator and moisture filter for this compressor if I decide to try it? Also, any suggestions on where to purchase Createx paint? I've been painting baits for a couple years but nothing serious. I thought if I had the right equipment I may get more serioius with it but I know nothing (obviously) about air compressors or any other equipment for that matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Great site by the way!!! Thanks
