airbrush accesory setup
« on: October 15, 2012, 04:34:54 PM »
What do people advise to have on the bench to successfully do playfield touchup using airbrushing.

Obviously a compressor and airbrush hardware is a necessity, but what type of frisket masking ie. clear or matt, what type of paints ie. opaque or transparant/ primary or secondary kits etc etc.

I'd hate to buy the wrong stuff and I have seen so many things like the frisket where its a 50-50 call on which style. In the case of frisket I am thinking the matt may be the best as it may be easier to see where you have cut out areas and missed, but maybe the clear is better for cutting purposes.

any tips and help to getting started would be fantastic. Even advise of the calibre of airbrush would be great as I am not going to do free hand portraits etc and so I don't think a $300+ airbrush is necessary, but I may be mistaken

Yes a great buy there as I looked at the maxus and it retails from about $240-300 alone.
