Hey thanks for the info. Do you know if Michaels sells air brushes? I want to know if air brushes are good to paint bodies. I want to buy one because I have a coupon for 40% one item.

I use an airbrush for my cars. Works great!

Yes, Michael's sells airbrushes, but in very limited selection.
They did have the Badger brand there. Badger, Paasche, Iwata are like the "big" three brands.

You have to know what type of airbrush you want.
- Single or double action
- Internal or external mix
- Gravity or suction feed
- Not to mention different spry nozzles!
- Compressor or air in a can (compressors aren't cheap but canned air is not worth it, IMHO)

Do some research. There's a million web sites out there, check some out. Even with your 40% coupon, it still could get expensive. Michael's ain't that cheap.

I'd recommend Badger 150 or Paasche VL for starting out.
I have a double action, internal mix & suction feed Paasche VL.
