Is this everything I will need?
 

Hey all,

I have a 32gallon compressor already, so here is everything I have found, ready to purchase, but want to make sure I don't need anything else to start, other than paint.

any additions, substitutions, or deletions, please let me know, as I am ready to pull the trigger on this setup... Thanks

Also, if anyone wants to purchase items from TCPglobal, go to their ebay store. I posted the same 5 items from their ebay store and their website. I will buy the stand from tcp as there is free shipping...saves me a bit more.

I wouldn't get a master airbrush. I'd look at iwata or devilbiss. Better quality.

I am just getting into airbrushing, and do not want to spend 120+ on an airbrush.

You get what you pay for with airbrushes. A $40 airbrush will likely cause more headache than anything else. It's the single most important thing when it comes to painting (a good compressor being a close second I think). Spend the extra money and get a good one. You could honestly do without that cleaning kit. I've been using the same Iwata HP-C for about 15 years now and never had to use any of those things to clean it. The holder is convenient, but not really necessary. I made one out of corrugated cardboard. Cost me $0. Depending on your compressor, you may not need the regulator either.

I have a master airbrush, 2 iwatas, and a dagr on my work bench right now. All I use is the dagr. Had it for 3 years and only replaced the o rings once. It's a work horse. I spray auto air faskolor createx and wicked, all water based so my cleaner is water. If it gets dry I'll run some lacquer thinner through it. My gun holder is an old monster can.

I appreciate the advice/opinions guys. I hear what you are saying, and I definitely agree "you get what you pay for". If the cleaning kit isn't needed, that would save me 32.00, and I will need the regulator, as the one on my compressor is FUBAR.

I have heard that Master airbrushes are good quality for the money. I really don't know if I will be an airbrush master anytime soon, and don't want to spend buku coin on something I might not be able to utilize. I will think about it.

Best paint for begin ers is faskolor, createx or wicked. They're water based you do not need a cleaner. Water will do. When you use water based you first want to dust a few coats to get a good contact then you can go a little heavier. When I paint I'll do atleast 4 coats of paint. If you spray 1 heavy coat you'll get paint lift. Use a hair dryer to speed up dry time. Back with white to get light colors to pop. When highlight/shade colors I'll do like 7 passes. Anything else just ask.

Doesn't matter if you're a beginner or not. Those paints are all I've ever used in the 20 years I've been painting except when I needed something not available in them like chrome.

I also use kustom shop I'm some cases (urethanes) there's mixing involved and other adjustments. But I mainly use faskolor. My work is in Infamous Designs.

Yeah. I have used urethanes and enamels, but only when I needed something I couldn't get from latex paint. And honestly I charge more if I do since it's more work to get the right viscosity, to clean up afterwards, etc.
