starter airbrush?

[AggieCowgirl]

I’m looking into getting an airbrush for the first time but I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions?

I personally don’t know a ton about air brushes, but I have heard Badger is a good brand

Iwata and Badger are both good brands. Whether you decide on a top loading or bottom loading airbrush comes down to preference (they each have their pros and cons, but it mostly comes down to preference).

The one I use is a Badger. My dad’s old one that’s still working just fine is also a Badger. I can say that the newer airbrushes seem to fine tune between fine and wide spray a bit more nicely than much older airbrushes. I’m happy to find that my newer Badger uses exactly the same size bottles as his old one. As long as you take care of it and clean it properly, a good airbrush will last you a good long time. I use a small, portable air compressor with my airbrush (I can easily pick it up and carry it around where I want around the house and garage without an issue, or if I need to use it for something else, like refill a tire or something (handy for multiple purposes!). Either brand is good quality. Look into models and reviews on the different ones from each brand and how much you would like to spend. My parents bought me mine 2 years ago for Christmas (they got it on a really good sale). Worth keeping that in mind, since it is getting to be near that time of year. You might find a good sale either in a local art store or online.
