Any Paasche Air Brush is a good one. You did not get taken. That is how I buy all my air brushes these days (with the 40% coupon at Michaels or Hobby Lobby).
It is a much better brush but you might find it takes a bit more to learn how to use it correctly. And more importantly clean it correctly. The internal mix brushes will clog much easier with acrylic paint.
I've got a single action model H but wish I had the double. Depending on which kit you got, that's not a bad price. Here's what they're going for on-line.http://dixieart.com/PaascheVL.html

It was $100.00 but I used a 40% off coupon so I got it for around $60.00. Is this a descent set or did I get taken? I have been using an external mix that came from Wally World ($20.00 + or -) and would like to think the new one is a much better set, am I correct? Thanks, Mike
Is this sale still going on? and where'd you get the coupon
I'm in need of an airbrush
People just say everything you want to hear for some dumb reason. That was NOT a good deal. The reason I say that is I just bought a very nice double action Paasche air brush set on Ebay for only $30 BUY IT NOW plus $8 shipping. It is a very nice unit. You had to use 40% off to get the $60 price. Ebay has better deals. For $60 you could have gotten a badger double action set. AND yea yea yea, I know you do not get a warranty on Ebay but is that your best reason not to buy on Ebay because if so then it is lame. For every bad sale there are hndreds of good ones. By the way the one I bought actually has a refund policy within 7 days but others may not offer anything.
So your deal was not great but it was just average
Sometimes it's worth a few more dollars to touch and feel something in a store and take it home that day rather than wait a week or so to see if you did or didn't get ripped off.If he got the deluxe kit with all the accessories, then $60 is an OK price. If he got the airbrush and hose for that price, then he got ripped.
Here's a link to the 40% coupon.http://www.hobbylobby.com/site3/weekly/coupon.cfm

The airbrush I got is the Paashe VL-SET. In the Lawton store they had I think 3 different ones. They also had just the spray gun with no attachments for $150.00, I didn't think I needed that airbrush. Good Luck. I have been playing with my airbrush all day and I think I am starting to get the hang of it, still lots of learning to do. Mike
yeah, they have the 40% of coupons on there website i found out
Thanks for the info though, i will probably look at the ones similar to, or get the same one you got
I've had a cheap, $20 airbrush a while ago, an i cleaned it properly and everything but it ended up dieing out, I've bin wanting to step up to a good quality one for a while now, and this seems like a good opertunity
quick question though did yours come with all the fittings and everything you need to hook it up to an aircompressor, or do you need to buy those seperatly?
It comes with everything you need except, you will need a way to connect the hose to the air comp. I have a small shop with a large AC that I use, I simply put a 1/4'' male Quick Connect to the hose and pluged the hose to my shop air line.
So far I am really happy with mine, It only needs to come with an OPPERATOR. I can learn to use it.
Let me know what you bought. Mike
