He has been painting in the garage for some time now. I thought that buying an air brush for him for chirstmas would be an idea. But what to buy? Iwata, Badger, Paasche, Thayer Chandler? What models? and is an small air compressor needed or could the shop air compressor be used?
Any comments suggestions?

I ended up buying a Badger 150-4PK Pro Airbrush MD/HD $86 from Tower Hobbies. That seemed to be a real good deal. I saw similar ones for over a hundred.
I'm hoping that my son will get good enough to have his own TV show and make a lot of money and buy his old man a new truck... or a really nice old truck!!! | | |
