Air brush, what to look for.

I have a Passche VL model, it is good for both full coverage spraying and doing detail, weathering, and touchup work. They're a little expensive, though, unless you found a deal on one like I did. I'd suggest that Big_Boy gave the best advice so far as to go out and buy a cheaper airbrush first, for one thing it might be easier for you to learn how to airbrush if you have a simpler airbrush in the first place. <br /> <br />The Passche airbrush I have is both dual-action and internal mix, which I guess someone should explain: <br /> <br />Internal mix: <br />Paint and air get mixed (atomized) inside the airbrush. <br /> <br />External mix: <br />Paint gets atomized with air outside the airbrush. <br /> <br />Dual Action: <br />Airbrush's trigger controls both the amount of paint and air going through the airbrush. <br />Single action airbrushes only control the amount of air (I think); and control paint flow with something else. <br /> <br />
