Re: Need advice on buying an airbrush

Airbrushes are a HUGE personal choice as in feel and operation, as well as 
cost.  I myself prefer the Iwata brand air brush.  I have 7 different
models 
and love each and every one of them.  It has been my experiance that the 
needle size doesnt matter as much depending on the paint.  I use House Of 
Kolor paint (an automotive solvent based paint) and it sprays GREAT with 
smaller needles.  Some of the acrilic paint pigment isnt ground so fine
and 
needs a larger needle to spray effectivly.  Best advice I could give you 
would be to get ahold of the manufture of the airbrush, ask them about the

paint you would like to spray and see what their advice is.  I am more
than 
willing to help with what I can give for advice in my experiance though.
