Airbrushing (beginner)?
I want to start airbrushing. I've done my research and I've chosen to use a compressed air tank instead of an air compressor because they cost less (unless you guys can show me an affordable compressor). For the gun I want a double action Gravity fed gun. I'm in grade 10 so I don't have that much money :S I would like to pay maximum $150, preferably around $100, for the whole kit. I don't mind buying the gun and compressor/tank separately either.
Brands I've read good reviews about are Iwata, Badger and Paasche. Are there any other good ones?
Also, would I need a regulator or something like it if I chose a compressed air tank?
Compressed air tank is the cheapest way to go - just make sure you have the ability to control the air pressure and a moisture (water catch) filter on it to remove the water in the air line. You can also use a hand tool compressor - I picked one up at a garage sale for $50 that works great. But, again make sure you have pressure control and filtration.
