This is a true professional quality gun that will spray a very wide and consistent pattern. It is worth it.

I have a airbrush compressor that is 1/5 HP oil-less and quite quiet. It will overheat after like an hour or so, but works great, just make sure if you get a small compressor that you do NOT get one without a tank on it. It should look like 2 tanks on top of each other. If you get one without a air tank on the bottom you will get inconsistent air pressure as well as overheat it pretty quick. Mine is a silver motor on top of a black tank and is pretty small has a moisture trap and air hose. Also this airbrush is probably not going to be best suited for you if you are going to be painting miniatures. The needle is large which allows quite a bit of paint to come out making it very difficult to paint small details. I would recommend the badger renegade krome. The patriot seems to work well with putting out a lot of paint. I use my patriot for laying down kandy colors over a larger surface than a miniature. The krome will produce hair size lines, or like inch size lines, with the 105 patriot you will likely not get any finer of a line than a skinny marker would give you.

M105 and M205 was easier for me to work with. Plus it doesnt have all the fillers that the ultimate polish does. If you use the M105. You HAVE to follow it with the M205. You should only have to use the M105 ONCE on the car. Then wash it properly with the 2 bucket method so you don't put swirl markes back on the paint. If you use the M105 I recommend getting a dual action polisher its safe for beginners. I got mine from harbor freight. It works great just change the backing plate to a 5" and dont buy their pads I got mine from chemical guys.

As an avid Tippmann customer/player, this is probably one of the best upgrades you can get. I have this barrel on a custom fabricated old school M98, and as a semi-auto long rifle, it gets more kills than the automatics I've played against. I prefer this barrel over a flatline, because its accuracy is better at typical paintball combat ranges.

I own/use the paintshaver pro and the metabo. I preferred the metabo and my crew of workers used to argue who got to use it. The paintshaver pro is aggressive and will gouge the woodwork. The metabo on any setting never gouged. They strip equally fast, the metabo area needs less prep before paint in my experience. I suggest buying an extra set of blades for either one. Hitting hidden nails dulls them and I've learned the hard way and had to order them and wait for delivery. If I wouldve known i would have bought 2 metabos instead of one paintshaver pro. Oh and also the vaccume you hook it up to makes a big difference also. Hope this review helps your anticipation

I mean u can use any paint u want but its not good for your marker i typically use xball paint its from diablo its like 40 bucks for 2,000 at sports authority or dicks or u can use jt maxims for 30 a case

Ofcos u need to paint more because of a big scale model. But if u wish not to paint it, it still looks ok. Color separation is really detail & accurate compare to 1/144

worth or value is in the eye of the beholder.... i thought it was worth it,,, i bought it... i have others... its really not necessary to hang a light off your shotgun at all, if you need a flashlight you can carry it in your pocket... if there is a WOW factor you are after then go for it, if not don't... a cheap h&r; single shot shotgun with no tactical junk will work just fine... most of the tactical junk we hang off our guns is not necessary, just cool...

I don't know because I haven't painted a car. But I remember reading a review that said it did a great job. From my experience using the gun, I would think it would be great. Hope this helps!

From the brief search I did on those substances, I'd say no. I've sprayed a rust proof primer and it came out kind of clumpy with the larger tip. I have shot tractor and implement enamels, with a little bit of thinning they can come out nicely. If you have to time to do multiple light coats, it might work.Also, and unrelated, I've been using a brake cleaner to clean this gun the last few times. It's reduced cleanup time by 2/3 and so far has shown no ill effects.

Accuracy is pretty good for about 200 feet but that's with good paint and no wind, only other thing to increase range and accuracy is an apex barrel for a scenario gun. Good paint is always a huge part. Bad paint makes balls fly every where and let's face it were not playing at a stripclub

This gun is not good for large jobs. It is more for touch up work. That being said, it will handle the paint okay. You will have to thin it and spray many coats to get good coverage. Practice on a piece of old wood or cardboard until you get the spray adjusted and it will do a good job on small projects.

I used the spray can and shot the whole cavity, came out smooth as glass and still looks great after months of use - make sure you have good ventilation. Guess it depends on whether you're covering a chip / scratch - I'd get the brush-on if available but for a larger area go with the spray and sand everything well before painting...

I used the gun for the first time with latex a few days ago. You have to thin the paint a lot, but it flowed on evenly. There is also a learning curve going from poly's to latex, you have to open up the flow quite a bit. One caveat: Buy a second gun because once you load and spray latex you will not get it all out of or off of the gun. This after about a half hour of scrubbing with hot soapy water. Keep one gun for poly only.

I own at least one if not more of each of these blasters and I say go with the new Deploy CS-6. It has a pump action style like the Raider but in the same price range as the Recon. Some complain about the handle but I think it is cool that it can pop-out to a blaster. In a indoor war though having a short barrel helps get you you on target faster, try out the Firefly.

I had to increase my PSI to get proper volume applying lacquer. I started out following the recommendations but that would not work for me. Certainly could be something wrong with my setup. Guns work very well and I certainly recommend for a lower priced gun.
