Hello there !

My girlfriend wants to offer me an airbrush for my birthday.
And I have zero clue about how to choose a good one.

So I would like to know if some wise lizard can help me.

I have no experience with airbrushes and no material at all.

Thanks in advance mates !
 
You will need two basic things. One an airbrush and two an air compressor. There are a couple options for types of airbrushes. You can use a vacuum feed brush or a gravity feed brush. There are also single action and double actions brushes. I prefer gravity feed double actions brushes like this Badger brush. Iwata also makes great airbushes.

Okay, great.
I'll look into it.

Thanks !
 
And question, for the air compressor. What is the difference for the use of one with a tank and one without it ?
I know what the tank do, but I don't know the impact when you use it for airbrushing.
 
A tank means more stable air flow and a quieter compressor. I also find that tankless compressors cause more vibrations as they are constantly creating air flow, so if it is on your paint stations it can cause some annoyance.
