Air Brush Paints.

[dragonicecks]

Ok on page 3 there is a really nice write up on what type of airbrush to use. And i greatly appreciate that.. Just ordered one. Now my question is what types of paint do you guys recommend for case painting.

I appreciate your time and any suggestions you may have.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I use Createx, because it's the only paint around here XD. You can use any kind of airbrush paint you want really, it's all preference. Are you planning on buying it online, or at a retail store? If it's the latter, you should go there and see what they have, and then make your decision.

What's the difference between airbrush paint and a can you'd buy for painting your car?

Hey everyone.

I meant to reply to this thread a couple of days ago but I've been in one of those, 4 hrs of sleep a night for a week, hazes because of work. I've got tomorrow off though so I'm stoked.

You have a couple of choices for Airbrush Paint:

- Createx - (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2450700&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcrafts.search.ebay.com%2Fcreatex-airbrush-paint_Painting_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR 40QQsacatZ28110)

the best value
pretty good colors
great airbrush paint for practice
no candy colors available


- Auto Air by Createx - (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2450700&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearc h.dll%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26catref%3DC12% 26from%3DR10%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dauto%2Bai r%2Bairbrush%2Bpaint%26sacat%3D28110%2526catref%25 3DC6%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3DZIP%252FP ostal%26sabfmts%3D1%26saobfmts%3Dinsif%26ftrt%3D1% 26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprchi%3D%26fsop%3D1%25 26fsoo%253D1%26coaction%3Dcompare%26copagenum%3D1% 26coentrypage%3Dsearch)

the best value for pro quality
water based so it's really easy to mix and reduce
great for your serious projects
great candy colors (used for a super deep color effect)
tons of colors available including sparkle and stuff
works great with Duplicolor spray paint (which I use for the base colors and clearcoat)


- House of Kolor (HOK) - (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2450700&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearc h.dll%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26catref%3DC6%2 6from%3DR10%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dhouse%2Bof %2Bkolor%26sacat%3D-1%2526catref%253DC6%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3DZIP%252FP ostal%26sabfmts%3D1%26saobfmts%3Dinsif%26ftrt%3D1% 26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprchi%3D%26fsop%3D1%25 26fsoo%253D1%26coaction%3Dcompare%26copagenum%3D1% 26coentrypage%3Dsearch)

Professional level paint (urethane based)
Really expensive (use only for pro level work)
Phenominal Colors and Specialty Effects Colors
Great paint to use once your really comfortable with mixing and reducing paints


I love surfing eBay for the best deals on Airbrush Paint and other airbrush stuff. They have a pretty robust selection which is kinda rare for airbrush stuff. Airbrush Page on eBay.

Is this a good deal/airbrush for a beginner with a few training sessions on an airbrush.

YES! I highly recomend it until you can move up to a gravity fed airbrush, such as an Iwata.

[dragonicecks]

Sweet. Ill keep searching on ebay and see if i can find one of those. :-)
+1 for you

If you want to get a Paasche VL(that's the kind you just posted), I would spend a couple of dollars more and get the Paasche Millennium. It's the same airbrush with a cool metal handle. Here are some links for ya:

Paasche Millenium (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2450700&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FNEW-Paasche-Millenium-Airbrush-Painting-Set_W0QQitemZ230145257234QQihZ013QQcategoryZ28111Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Here's a good eBay store I've used a couple of times also. Check out what they have. They have pretty good prices.
