Do it right the first time!!!!!! Go out and buy an airbrush and a compressor with a tank . Stores like Harbor Freight and even Home Depot have reasonable "Pancake " compressors . You need the tank for a smoother flow of air. Propel cans tend to freeze up if you do a lot of painting in one sitting, and if you add up the cans it becomes more practical with a compressor. <br /> <br />Internal mix gun..... I feel has better results BUT you have to take it apart to clean it. <br /> <br />External mix gun.....easier to take care of. <br /> <br />Badger seems to be the most reasonable priced gun <br /> <br />PRACTICE< PRACTICE< PRACTICE> it can get frustrating....... I had a heck of a time painting white, I allways put it on too heavy...... as your work gets better you just can't beat the satisfaction you will get. Not to mention the fact that you can have more than one of anything with different numbers.
