Im tired of cleaning up over spray from using rattel cans when doing my paint jobs. I mostly paint 3 color fad jobs . Will the airbrush listed in the first post work good for what i want to do, or am i better off spending a little more for a better airbrush ?. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=95810 . My buddy owns a hobby shop so i can get any airbrush that horizon or tower sells at cost . I all ready have a compresser .

You may wanna check out www.cfxpaintworks.com can't tell if thats the right website the network here at work blocks 50% of all the good websites for hobbies, if thats not the right forums then u may need to look around a little bit more for info, either way the team at cfx forums are very well informed since quiet a few of the members are world class pro airbrush painters. I was gonna look into airbrushing for my rc cars, but when I looked at the pricing for good long lasting equipment the price would be cheaper for me just to pay a pro paint the 1 or 2 bodies i wanted done for maybe 120$ rather then the 300+ for me to get teh stuff and perfect my airbrushing, besides I'd rather be spending my money on my MMM 2200kv combo for teh revo and all the the stuff for a TC5.

I have been wanting to play with and airbrush for a while so I have been researching what to get.. I think I am going to Iwata Eclipse HP-CS.. they are about a 120 bucks.. I am going to just use my air compressor with a filter and maybe a pressure regulator if I need it.. I figured if I totally hate it I could sell the brush used for 80-100 pretty easy.. RCTech has a pretty good tutorial about painting and airbrushing..

I also thought about getting a CO2 tank to use for painting since I wouldn't need to buy a filter or anything and my parents are a Norco dealer.. so I could get cheaper refills and free tank rental.
