Almost a brand new airbrusher, Have messed around with this before but only with a cheap Blue Point brush. Have the bug again so here I am. I have a badger sotar 20/20 on order, a 20lb co2 tank for air, Was given a badger 100 sgm and a capitol 2006gf, both of which I have never tried because I was just given them the other day so know nothing about them. I am retired now and have plenty of free time, I am a former goldsmith, And have done a lot of drawing, hair brush paintings, cartooning, woodcarving, So I am not a total stranger to making artwork. I have no delusions of fame and riches by airbrushing, Just enjoy artwork. I have no official airbrush paint yet, But do have a large supply of acrylics in both tubes and bottles, Also have watercolors and a few inks.
Well that's all I can think of looking forward forward to this new journey.

Welcome home leaky hose nice to have you here.
Tube paints and airbrush do not always get a long well . Only large nozzle play alright with them.
But if you have a hobby lobby in your area print off the 40% off anything in the store coupon or put the app on your phone (unless you like me anti cell ) and pick up some Wicked airbrush paint , They are designed to paint on almost any surface.
Golden High Flow is also great paint and designed for the airbrush. Look forward to seeing some of your art even that which is not airbrushed .
 
Welcome from the UK. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Welcome aboard leaky hose! Am rapidly approaching retirement myself and am getting back into airbrushing. Glad Mr. Micron warned you about paints already. He's right about there being paints that work for hair brushes that will clog up an airbrush no matter how thinned out they are.
Lots of people here to help and great advice that I'm planning on taking advantage of myself.
 
Welcome to the forum, theres a great deal of experience and talent here. Don't be scared to ask any questions you may have. There is a search function so have a look and if you cant find an answer then just ask.
