Which airbru***ype is best?

[Anonymous]

I've never owned or even used an airbrush before, and I'm wondering what the best type is - single action, double action, etc. - for different applications. Basically a pros and cons point of view. I've thought about picking up a cheap Testors set just to experiment with before I make a $150-$200 investment. Any and all opinions are appreciated! [8D]

You'll get many responses as if you asked what car is the best, but Ill be happy to give you my opinion on the subject. I own two airbrushes and love them both. The first one by brand is a Paashe double action airbrush and the second is a Badger brand. Both are double action. If I had to choose one it would be my Paasche. Very easy to use, at around $85.00 I would say it is an above average brush. Check these sites, I have them in my favorites and have used them with great reliability:

I recomend Aztec airbrushes. They are simple to use and very relaible, and have a great selection of accesories for different needs and projects. Remember you'll also need an air compressor. I strongly recomend a testors one. You may also use compress gas cans if your use will be sporadic.
