Is there an airbrush fine enough that would spray as if you were using a pen or maybe a fat marker on the body? I have a badger, I forget what model, but I can't get it to spay no where near fine enough to my liking.

I would like to take an attempt at some free hand designs.

If you have a hobby Lobby around where you live I just pick up a Iwata NEO airbrush for $45. It comes with a .35 MM neetle. You can get fine lines with that.

The OP mentions using a tire tube as an air source. Does it mean a bicycle tube or something bigger?

I am new to airbrushing, but I have a possible good deal on this airbrush would it be a good investment, or are the replacement parts super expensive too? I know it's better than I need but if it will be the only one I need for a long time I might as well make the investment. I plan on doing mostly Lexan RC bodies but possibly venture into more applications as my experience grows.

Iwata Custom Micron C Airbrush this is the Airbrush I'm looking at. How much does it cost to maintain a brush like this I would probably use it a few times a week.

Im really new to airbrushing and I bought the Iwata HP-CS. I love it. Being new its real easy to clean and maintain. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another. For paint right now Im using faskolor cause its readily available at my LHS. I have been working at 35psi and lower for different things but mainly 35. Its all working for me learning it all. And the HP-CS gets high marks from alot of painters here.

I use an Air Pro Tools 800, the are cheap and come with .2 .3 and .5.
Faskolor or createx paint
40-45psi for backing and large areas with thick paint, 30psi for detail work with thinned paint

One airbrush most people might overlook, is the Testors Aztec. It comes in a few versions but for regular RC body painting I use the plastic one.

Some airbrush artists use them because they are so light and have a sensitive trigger.

The needle is actually inside the tip, which come in many sizes.

I use Createx arcrylic paint which you can find at most Craft stores. Just make sure you back it which a lexan safe spray can.

Back it with white if its a light coloured body, and black if its dark.

The Aztec is a very basic brush that would be fine for anyone who only needs to do a body here or there. For heavy use and more demanding artwork and detail, a quality Iwata, Paasche, or Badger, just to name a few, can be had for only $20 more than the Aztec.

But for anyone who doesn't have the extra cash, or the need for better tools, it is adequate for the job.

Is the Iwata Silver Jet compressor good enough for painting RC?
working pressure is 10 to 18 psi

Your def. gonna want a a filter/water trap setup on the outlet if your using a regular compressor. Especially if your in any kind of humind enviroment.
