I need a "decent" air brush to paint some designs on my pinewood derby cars.

Anyone know where to buy one for a good price. Ive seen some on Ebay for about $15 plus S/H, but I dont know if theyre any good.
Thanks
RC

paasche (sp) makes really nice ones for around $40 or so....dont cheap out on one..i bought a cheap one for $20 from Harbor Freight and it clogged 2nd time i used it...a few days later my dad realized he still had his 20 year old paasche from when he used to build model cars....also, the gravity feed ones a better than the suction feed ones...just a heads up

good luck with the car bud!!

AC Moore's sells a few different ones not sure on the prices though i know they have a couple that are up there. They also sell paint for them. Maybe if you take a look there someone can help you out

They have them for $44.44 buy it now, and a separate auction that has bidding, starting at $39. I put in a bid of $43, and at the last minute...someone bid $44.01...Why T F could they not just go ta $44.44 one and buy it now??

I can go now and do it too, but it's just the principle

BTW, that same air brush is Dual action, meaning you can control the air flow AND the paint flow separately....sprays to 1/32"

yea mines dual action....if you havent used airbrushes before (i assume you have since your using them now, and you knew what to look for) just practice a lot on other crap before you do the cars cause i built this BADASS 32 ford roadster model one time with a 98 cobra motor in it, billet pieces, interior flocking, wired distributor...the whole nine....anyway i went to go use the airbrush teh first time and i TOTALLY ****ed up the paintjob, and the rest of the car was done!!!! and revell-monogram wouldnt send me another body so i was screwed........

I never even held one in my hands before...I just did a lot of reading.

But, yeah, I planned on practicing first.
