madurai, India (prHWY.com) February 28, 2012 - Let's say you are totally new to airbrushing but you know how to use a brush and can paint really good. One day someone has told you to try diy compressor and you considering give it a try. What you have to know that not always it is so easy to start because you will have to invest some money in it. Remember, beside airbrush gun you will need other tools (compressor, paint ). In this article precisely, I'm going to talk about airbrush guns.

During my research I have found that there is big difference between cheap and dare airbrush gun. Difference is mostly in the purpose, so choose carefully but first read this article, as it might help you with the decision. There is many parameters that you can separate airbrush guns by. It can be separated by action, feed and mixing. I decided to include that description here too so you going to have all the information at one place. By the action we recognize two types: single and double action airbrush gun. DoubleAction requires more skills and time to get use to it as you have to do two things at once (regulate the airflow and paint flow). These airbrushes are good for detailed jobs and are very popular among airbrush artists (single action is used mostly by scale modeler).

By the feed we know gravity feed airbrushes (have a pain cup on the top or side of their body and their function is easy as it is based on the Earth gravity which pushes the paint down into mixing chamber where it gets mixed with air and sprayed). Siphon feed has a bottle on the bottom (sometime it's called bottom feed) and as you can get from the name it works on the principle that there is a tube inside the bottle that goes from airbrush gun body. Blown air over the tube pulls the paint up into the mixing chamber. Positive for this type is capacity as the bottles used there are bigger than the cup used in gravity feed airbrushes. This is a huge advantage when painting big objects (no stops to refill).

Now when choosing between these two I want to give you some advises. Gravity feed cups can vary in sizes and some of this guns have a possibility to change the cup, some are permanently fixed to the body (most cases). Some come with a lid on the cup and some don't. So which one do you choose depends on the purpose of your airbrushing. If you're going to paint small details you'll probably prefer smaller cup, if you use acrylic paint you would prefer a cup with a lid. It does not mean that you have to buy exactly this, you can always make a lid by yourself.

Another two types which can categorize your skull stencil depending on how it mixes the paint with air are Internal and External mix airbrush guns. Internal mix atomises the paint inside the body of airbrush gun, external outside of the body. Good example of external mix type of airbrush gun is Paasche H. It has the paint nozzle below the airbrush body where it gets atomised, so the body stays clean as there is almost no paint inside it at all. But the internal mix type has usually finer finish than external one. If you prefer details you should choose the internal mix one and live with the fact that you have to clean it more often than external mix gun.

Here comes a few advices from professional that have big experience with any kind of airbrush you can think of.

My first airbrush was a cheap plastic Aztec that come in model kits. I didn't know a lot about brushes back then and never could get it to work well until I purchased an Iwata HP-CS, than I understood what makes the angels sing. A new world opened up. I was finally able to paint my masterpieces with precision control & much less fuss with the brush. The right tools & equipment are essential. My advice to anyone looking to start would be to make the investment in the beginning. It will spare you the time & frustration in the long run.

Paasche SA was a good start, I was just mucking around with it one day for fun and discovered I really enjoyed it. Now I have a Harder & Steinbeck Infinity and can't stop airbrushing. The right tools make all the difference. There was a huge difference between the SA Paasche and the Iwata HP-CS, I practically had to retrain myself all over again learning to control the DoubleAction after starting with a SingleAction. Do not buy a single action airbrush, unless you just want to paint models. They have their uses but make it very difficult to achieve some strokes and techniques for artistic painting.

Never waste money on cheap airbrushes, but you don't need to spend big money either for something like the Iwata CM C+ . I don't like external mix after my Paasche, and siphon feeds waste a lot of paint when you clean or change colour, so if you are a newbie and only doing small artworks, then it's not a good idea. Gravity feed is definitely the one to go for someone new. My first was a very expensive Badger. All I did was fight the whole time I tried. they are fussy and I ended up getting a Master g44 (much better). I had the opportunity to use the new Harder & Steenbeck "Infinity Two-in-One" airbrush in all honesty I have to say I wasn't prepared for it to be as good as it is! This brush deserves to be viewed as a totally unique experience. For an Artist on a budget who needed to be able to work across a full range of venues from Automotive or Fine Art, to Textile/Wearable Art, this airbrush would be a best buy. I am VERY impressed by this airbrush.

I've been airbrushing for 18 years and I have never seen an assembly that large pull consistently fine lines like that. After experimenting for a time I began my painting. I used the Infinity and absolutely loved working with it. The features are a dream! It performed beautifully and did absolutely everything that I needed it to do with an effortless consistency. I am extremely impressed with this airbrush, and would definitely recommend it to anyone. I also think that this brush would be ideal for beginning airbrushists because it is so easy to use and leaves lots of room to grow as the user progresses. Start out with what you can afford but realize that you get what you pay for. Don't be cheap, purchase the recommended paints and thinners.
