No problem Mike, help is what we’re all here for. Most of what I’ve learned has been from the good folks on this forum, so I’m just paying it forward man.Thank you so much
As someone starting out, not even knowing if they'll succeed or not, would you suggest I stay away from the Chinese clones? Or do they offer much in the way of value vs longevity?
A lot of the things I have are Chinese and while some consider them inferior, generally I don't.
The rest of the information is gold thank you, I'll get that orizle compressor ordered now thanks.
That website, for the paint has so much incredible information on it, again, thank you
I totally get you wondering about the knock off brushes, my advice is that there are a lot of factors that have an effect on simply getting paint to spray from an airbrush in a controllable fashion. When there are problems as a beginner you start trying to figure out where the problem is and wonder if it’s the brush, the technique, pressure, paint, amount of reducer etc. Having a quality brush at least takes that one variable away. I started with a very cheap Chinese brush. It worked ok, but the difference when I upgraded to an Iwata Eclipse was crazy! Of course it didn’t make me a better painter overnight, but it was so much easier to use and when I had issues at least I knew it was something I was doing rather than brush failure alone LOL.
That’s only my opinion Buddy. A super cheap brush will definitely get you going, but a quality brush will last and retain a decent second hand value if you ever choose to change it or move it on.
