Hello all. Just wanted to pop in here and say hi from Massachusetts. I'm new to Air Brushing and I mean NEW 
I have read a lot over the past few months about paints, Air Brushes, compressors, and the "How to's" . I don't know how many Youtube vids but all in all, they ALL seem to some how lead back to this site. So I signed up. Got a lot to learn I know that. From what I have read though THIS is the place to do it. So far all the posts I have read this community seems very nice and eager to help with advice and tips.
So, to start. I got into this because I build and fix computers, my neighbor does auto body and asked me to help him out. After I did he said he had no use for this air brush and he didn't ever get the time to learn. So he just gave it to me. It is a Badger 150. (I know it's old and out dated now) but none the less I figured a good brush to learn on. And besides you can't beat free ;-) It was a kit, it had the AB, hose, two bottles, the tools, spare needle and nozzles.
I went to Hobby Lobby and got some Createx black, reduced it with just some water to "From what I read 2% milk" and printed out the lessons from here. I"M HOOKED!. I set up a nice little area in my basement but the sound of my compressor was driving me crazy. I went out and bought the california 4610 air compressor because I read that having a tank is better for a few reasons so I graded that and the regulator that most people seem to rave about from Amazon. Hooked it all up and all was great.
Anyways, before this turns into a book, I just wanted to say hello and I hope soon I will be able to share something that can be considered art.
