I am thinking about buying an airbru***his summer since now there are enough models I'd like to have but would need to be custom painted out there. I am going to buy a Paasche model VL, since the Harbor Freight Tools catalogue has them for $60 instead of Micro-Mark's $100. Mainly I am wondering about this question: We have a large Craftsman air compressor, and my dad says that for airbrushing he could turn the maximum pressure down. Will this be a safe stand-in until I have enough money to buy a silent model compressor? I wouldn't want to buy an airbrush and 10 undecorated cars only to find out i couldn't use them for another year. Also, does solvent based paint have any advantage over acrylic paint? And do you have any ideas on how to build your own spray booth? There's not one way I can spend $300 on one of those things right now. I also am going to get a book on airbrushing so I'll have an idea of how to use it. Thanks in advance.[:p]
