Hiya

I have an Airbrush kit & love using it. go to www.everythingairbrush.com thats the site I buy my airbrush equiptment from & very happy with them. I use a gravity feed airbrush AB-135 double action. works like a dream & have had it for 2 years also they are very reasonable on price & stock createx water based paints which is great for using on nails. might be worth going on a course before you buy one as you would need to know how to use it safely & how to maintain your equiptment.

HTH

Hello

I got my airbrush compressor and all equipment from everything airbrush too, they are fab.

I have played around with it myself but only on my nail trainer, I would benefit from having training in this subject.
Does anybody know of any good airbrush trainers out there??

Thanks

Iwata are the compressor of choice across the world across professions. I've never had a problem I got mine from Airbrushes, Airbrush supplies and compressors, UK send them an email so friendly and knowledgeable.
You need quality training as looking after you airbrush is soo important. Things to consider are the size of the compressor - is it adjustable?, size of needle in the airbrush, and paint you will use.
I have a collection of guns with different sized needles. I have an Iwata power jet pro had it for years and still love it
