I just picked one up. Figured its was a fair enough price, and was at least a dual action so it was a step up from my other pasche one. Any feedback, good or bad would be helpful. Thanks fellas

never heard about it, but looks really good for that price.

LOL, I have one...I'm not the best painter but it wrks well for my skill level....Just clean it regularly as it just doesn't like clogged paint.....and I mean like every 15 mins I was running thinner through it to keep it cleaned....other than that I don't mind t.....My pop bought me a single action and a double action brush from HF a few weeks ago......only painted 2 bodies w/ em.....I might post pics if I wasn't afraid of getting laughed at.....sniffle, you guys are too harsh for me...

C'mon sissy. Show the work. The rest of us put up our experiments. Can't be any worse than the "I'll paint for free" fiasco.
And that brush looks pretty good. A nice basic set and probably does quite well. The reality is that for most of us, a good, middle of the road airbrush is all we need.

True, I was looking at all the nicer ones and realized I hadn't even tried an airbrush...so I got some stuff to use my compressor for the air and rigged up a little bottle w/ a dryer and regulator so I can bring it inside to paint w/....I'll try and get pics of my 2 bodies tonite...actually I did post one of my H2.....It didn't go THAT bad...from a few feet it looks real good...when you get on it you can see the F'd up parts.......

Well I got to use the airbrush today, and have to admit, I'm very impressed. Sprayed very nice and smooth, and could paint very fine this lines. Well it worked awesome until I started spraying FasGlitter.. Man that stuff is a bitch.. Ill be sure to post up some pics once I get it all wrapped up Just wanted to give my lil review of this gun. VERY VERY well worth the $20! I like it.

What was wrong with the "FasGlitter"?

 

[FastEddy]

Does it have different size tips? If so, try a larger one for the Glitter.

 

[4u2nv]

The fasglitter was just a pain to spray and just sprayed like crap. I did put the larger tip in there but still had probs. I even deluted it a little too, but still sprayed like ass. I got it done, but it wasn't fun.

it was only $20 ???

yep. Came to $27.10 to my door, and took like 2 weeks to get here, but was worth the wait. Works awesome.
