Default Water based paint airbrush

I tried spraying some faskolor over the winter using an oooold badger airbrush, new mulit purpose pancake compressor. Really came out splotchy at a variety of psi. But loved the little to no smell in the basement.

Is there an airbrush or 2 specifically I should look at? Not doing fancy paint jobs. All dirt oval cars with 2 or 3 colors. Like atached.

There is no real water based airbrush.You need to make sure are using one with preferable a
.5 mm needle and nozzle.After you have this setup you will need to use some reducer to get it to spray smoother. Hope this helps ya

Water biased paints are different from solvent paints, this is because the carrier (drop of water) is larger. You need thin multiple coats to build up a good finished product.
