This guy is awesome! I love his super informative review. I just bought this airbrush and it's been 15years probably since I've used one. This one is much more updated
@@andydiehl773 Thanks. Yeah it's a really nice set. There's a lot of similar ones out there but what I really like about this one is the quality of the airbrush is really nice and then with the compressor coming with two batteries it's a great deal. Enjoy
Hi mate. Thank you for the awesome video, I found this very helpful but I was wondering if I can kickoff my Custom helmet painting journey with this. I won't be doing that to sell, so is it a good product to start with?
@@musflickdesigning depends on the setup you're looking for. You have large compressors that sit on the floor with a large air tank, you have smaller desktop compressors that don't have a tank, just continuous air, and then you have these portable handheld compressors which can be held in the hand or placed in your pocket. Normally I like a compressor with a tank, this way it holds air and isn't constantly running the motor. But if you're looking for something small and compact that's battery operated, this is a great option. There are tons of companies with similar portable kits but I like this one because it comes with two batteries and the airbrush has nice features. Hope that helps. I have other compressor reviews on the channel if you're looking for something larger.
@@itsallthingsart Thank you so much for the reply mate. Yeah, I would like to have a deep look into more compressors. I've very less idea about these things, so yeah. And one final question, is is fine to buy any good compressor or is it like Airbrush compressors are build different for it?
I always say buy the biggest air compressor your space can allow. This way the motor is not constantly running or kicking on and off. As far as brands go, they're pretty much all the same. So just shop around and find one at the best price. That would be my advice for larger compressors with air tanks on them.
@@pepsiplunge2685 any airbrush and compressor will do. The decision will be how you want your setup. Do you want something small and portable that runs on batteries? Or something with a larger compressor that would hold more air and plug into an outlet? The larger the compressor tank, the less the motor will run. So it really comes down to what you want as a setup. But yes this would work for airbrushing model cars. Personally I like using a large tank so I don't hear the motor running. But for something on the go and portable.. this works great.
@@itsallthingsart ive got a big air compressor but no power points or power in my little storage shed. i thought maybe this might be okay to try and if i like air brushing ill go full hog and buy a proper kit.
@@pepsiplunge2685 ok yeah this one comes with 2 batteries. There are similar brands on the market but not many that come with a second battery and the easy swap out feature...that's what I really like about it. Plus the airbrush itself is nice quality. You'll get about 45 minutes to an hour out of each battery.
Love the Ghost machine stuff 👍👏👏. May I ask you a question about the painting. I love Sideshow, and lately the production pieces are closer then ever to the prototype. But when the factory is not able to live up to the prototype. Does it only rely on the talent of the person who paints. Or does it also lies on the equipment that they use. Or the time pressure. Because sometimes the production doesn't really live up and then mostly we get the " they used a bad factory " . But that is maybe to easy to just say that. My feeling is just like in sport and everything else that is matters from the talent and that is different from person to person. Would that be correct 🤔
Yeah there's always going to be a difference, hopefully not too much. It's comparing Sideshows paint team, a small group considered the best of the best, painting one or two prototypes.... to dozens of Asian workers in a factory, in lower living conditions, painting hundreds and thousands of these things. However Sideshows "master painters" know that these have to be reproduced and will also dumb down the paint techniques this way they can be replicated for fast production. If you hire a true "master painter" they will spend the time making the piece look as best as possible, but at the same time you're also paying double the price.
@@Kevooo34 not on this airbrush. But if you check out my last review, that airbrush you can actually switch out to three different needle sizes that it comes with. th-cam.com/video/EK_42ZoZgy8/w-d-xo.html
The hose is if you don't want the battery/compressor in your hand. You can connect the hose to the airbrush and then to the battery/compressor. This way you have about 6ft distance. . You can set it off on a table or in your pocket. And would only be holding the airbrush, making things lighter.
Portable or work station? For portable they're all very similar internally.. what I like about the brand in this review is that it comes with two batteries at an affordable price. Also, the airbrush gun has more features than other brands that I've seen. For at home/workstation compressors... Go for the biggest tank that you can fit in your space at the cheapest price. Again, they're all very comparable, the biggest difference is going to be the tank size and how often the compressor kicks on and off with the motor. I'll be reviewing more airbrush guns and compressors very soon, but in the meantime this was an older video I did.. th-cam.com/video/gKN83FTDG-U/w-d-xo.html
@@stevek758 okay so yeah if there's no electric around.. with the portable compressors the battery life is the biggest concern. As mentioned in the video, this one comes with two (easily swappable) batteries. Each will give you about 45 minutes to an hour of continuous run time. If you brought a portable power bank charger, you could be charging one battery while using the other and swap them back and forth. If planned right you could easily go the entire day. Hopefully that helps.
Yes, that would be a nice feature. Although as with most lithium batteries, you don't want to run them down to zero anyway. So once it's anywhere near the first line. I would swap it for the second battery that it comes with. But I do like the idea of the digital readout. I've seen some that do have that but they don't come with a spare battery from what I've seen so far.

Thanks for watching. Great kit for on the go 👍🏼
Nice review; you sold me. I think this will be a great 1st airbrush for my son.

@itsallthingsart he loves it. It was exactly what he wanted

@@itsallthingsart Thank you man, you helped a lot.
I just got one on Temu for four dollars because I had a discount. Gonna use it to re-haul a Michael Myers mask.
Nice 👍🏼
would this be good for painting die cast 1/64 cars?

@@itsallthingsart Thank you for the reply, very interesting to read 👍😊
I LOVE IT, TAKES ME BACK. I REMEMBER WHEN I GOT MY AIRBRUSH WHEN I WAS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL OF ART & DESIGN. IT WAS A BADGER. GREAT VIDEO E. 😲 💯🔥🦇🤘🏽👊🏽
The portables remind me of holding a can of spray paint, not as comfortable but very similar. Thanks for watching 😎
Would you be able to switch needle sizes?

Can you recommend a better Air comp0ressor? or better than this?

@@itsallthingsart I'm looking to see if i can get a Mobile tire inflator rather then these Bougey canisters.

The battery should be digital
Yes, that would be a nice feature. Although as with most lithium batteries, you don't want to run them down to zero anyway. So once it's anywhere near the first line.
