    If it costs less than £100 don’t bother (that is if you are not serious)
    The only thing cheap airbrushes will teach you is how to make a mess. I’m sure you could find a decent one on eBay!

    Do a search of the boards on this topic.

    brown bros
    morrelis
    gb refinishing
    etc
    as said you need to spend around the 100 mark or its just not worth it

    About £100 will get you a fairly good airbrush.

    Forget the propellant cans, though. They lose their pressure too quickly….usually just as you are getting into the swing of using the airbrush!

    See if you can pick up a small compressor. Check E-bay.

    There is a guy on Ebay sells em direct from Kowloon (or used to)
    Very good prices for the best IWATA
    I bought 4 from him no one could look at his prices even including shipping.
    Now you see ebay flooded for stuff from that side of the world though.
    I might manage to get his name and u can see if he still sells on Ebay

    Goop
