That looks awesome Keri.

I would love to see what you can do with a airbrush. You might even save a little money considering the amount of bodies you paint.

Mate i use a $100 GMC compressor from bunnings. Its just an air source, as long as it has a tank you're set, dont need an elaborate setup. Think about it, thats only 10 cans of tamiya spray paint!

But damn yeah thats great work with spray cans!

I was thinking of going that way KB, just wasn't to sure if i was going to have water issues with a cheap compressor.

Thats why you add a moisture trap.

If you use water based paints its not a issue. :)

Not necessarily, if you're doing a fade or a nice thin coat and all of a sudden a drop of water comes through, can really foul things up.
