My first Airbrush - advice needed

[doug c]

I work with a  Badger 180-11 compressor
{obtained a while back from Micheals using their 40%offcoupon,before i realized the pre-stat holidays flyer had 50%off coups' .... shucks the base price at Michs' now is even cheaper}

Badger 100 and 100G  dbl action brushes ...  with  BadgerModelflex (non-toxic) paints.   

That paint brand that states water-based i fd out {after purchase and reading the ingredients} contains glycol   yeeech... NO thanks !

I use polyurethane paints . They are a little more difficult to handle but easier to clean , less toxic but don't bond as well to some surfaces.

I use modelflex or polly scale exclusively, with the preference being pollyscale. I've found certain Modelflex colors do not go one well, and some have had their pigments separate into airbrush clogging particles. Its a good idea to screen paint prior to using it.
