Airbrush

Is there an airbrush at the makerspace? If not, does anybody know of someone who has one that I can use? I’m looking into buying one but want to try it out first. Also I wanted to see if it can’t connect to the compressors that are at the makerspace.

Awesome, thanks!

I… can’t place one anywhere.

We had talked at one point about a paint booth.

Would an airbrush be a good acquisition? Does that open up new possibilities for everyone?
I got one for the wife that she never touched and I was thinking of using it to pain prints and was curious if you could use it with stains on wood for a fade effect.

Stewart uses air brushing with many types of liquids. Acrylic, Stain, metallic based. Worth a look at his YouTubes.

If all you’re wanting is a small paint sprayer, the Badger 250 is about a cheap as you can find, and it has a pattern that is larger than most “true” airbrushes. It is also much simpler to clean that the needle style airbrush. http://www.badgerairbrush.com/BADGER_250.asp Other than that, there are always some reasonably priced used Paasche on ebay.
