discussion Cheapo amazon rechargable airbrush

[PaulTRose]

I did choose from a seller that had sold lots and had 4star feedback to try and minimise the chance of a dodgy one

But when all is said its is chinese mass produced for under 40 quid........my old sparmax set up with a noisy compressor was 6 times that.........but im not expecting Bentley quality lol.......i once knew a guy.....waited 3 years to get his new Morgan....cost over 40 grand at the time.....the day after he got it an electrical fault reduced it to ash and melted metal....so money dosnt always mean it aint gonna go wrong

We shall see in the future

HI Paul when i get this A/B what will i need to get it workin ? if you could tell me please as i havnt got the faintest idea what as never hardly used an A.B BEFORE ?
Chrisb

 

[PaulTRose]

Erm......somewhere you can plug a usb cable into to charge it up........paint and thinner that is suitable for airbrushing...air brush cleaner......something to spray into like a big box......watch some youtube videos on the subject

 

[pjgtech]

As per Pauls post below, plus good ventilation, eg, open window or an extractor of some sort, not an air brusher myself (yet) but most peeps seem to have some sort of ventilation as the fumes, smell, and very small particles (atomised) would not be good for your health! Cheers

 

[boatman]

HI PAUL again can i use the laptop usb port to charge it up ? an what make of paint ? an i gather i can buy off ebay some thinner an can i buy the airbrush cleaner off ebay ?
chrisb

 

[PaulTRose]

Yes but it will be slow

[PaulTRose]

Paint is supposed to be consustancy of milk....whatever that is lol

They all say stuff like 'beauty' cos they are aimed at nail art or cake decoration or art etc

 

[Richard48]

Hiya Chris.
I havent tried The Beauty airbrush yet mate.When i finish my 2 tanks i shall fire her up and give it a go.Hoping to take it over my mate Johns house as he has my spray booth and we can spray away in his modelling room.Think the air pressure is quite high on these.Might be only good for primer or single paint schemes

[Jim R]

Well, Paul, if you can get such a neat paint job on such a small model then the AB has shown its worth. Your skills are also clear.

 

[boatman]
