Airbrush!!!!

I went to my local hobby shop to inquire on air brush prices. when the counter help was putting the lids back on the boxes, he put the $59.99 lid on the $150.00 brush. So needless to say i took advantage and got me a brush. Now after $100 on paint and $100 on a compressor, i have painted my grill, spoiler, interior, and covered stone chips. It was very easy and for $200-$250 it was ht e best investment i have made so far. I highly recommend this if you are thinking of any of these mods.

I am not artistic at all..... it was easy. the interior i did with some pieces in and some out in my garage. the good thing about an airbrush is that it is next to impossible to make the paint run. sorry no picks my digi cam got ran over last long wekend.

I have merged the threads.

Boricua, if u read t-dot's first post carefully, he says he got a $150 brush for the price of a $60 bcuz the guy mislabeled it. I think he got a good deal for that. Not everyone needs a $700 airbrush set to do some simple detailing. Just thought i'd clear it up.
