I'm Still Not Clear on Paint and an Air Source for Air Brushing

I'm not familiar with the Badger Anthem but I notice that it is a double-action, internal mix airbrush. I have an older Badger double-action internal mix airbrush and can honestly say that I prefer the cheaper model 350 external mix air bru***hat I have over the fancier one. <br /> <br />The external mix airbrush is much easier to clean. The internal one always had to be taken apart to clean - despite how clean I got it it never worked right away if it sat unused for a long time. <br /> <br />As far as the fumes go - you'll get them with the airbru***oo! <br /> <br />You can check the Craftsman Corner forum over at Railroad-line.com and search on paint recommendations. Many of the regulars swear by the cheap, acrylic paints you can get at the craft stores and X-marts. Many colors to choose from. Thin them with automotive washer fluid. Airbrushing with the craft store acrylics (over a primed surface)requires a good thinning and a higher pressure but it's do-able. Give them a try - they won't cost alot. <br /> <br />-slim
