Should I buy this or the dual-action airbrush? It will be used for model cars and small firearm components.

I really like the H Set for ease of use and cleaning. If it's just for model cars and no fine detail work you really can't go wrong. It is kind of like using a can of spray paint with a little more control. If however you think you might want to do more then a dual action will give you better control but is not as user friendly. The H set you can buy and use straight away with great results. A dual action will take some practice. One thing to keep in mind is that a dual action can do nearly anything the H set can do but not vice versa. Hope that helps

I prefer using the single action air brush. I have a double action that works fine it just requires thinning where with the single action I can usually get good results without the thinning. I have used enamels and water based for model cars through both.

I have sprayed Duracoat with this and it worked perfect. I have not done a side by side comparison.

I'd recommend the dual-action. You'll have more control, and fine detail work. The single action is fine for me, spraying diorama scenery, etc.

Hi. I use the gun daily on a 3/8 hose and get great power and speed. A 1/2 hose would be fine and will deliver a greater volume of air, of course, but as an impact is used for a burst of power and not a sustained run, volume of air is not a concern. I hope that helps you. Enjoy your Aircat.

Unfortunately you do but you can pick one up for about 25-55 dollars that's small and will do the job just fine. I really liked this airbrush kit. I hope this help, happy Thanksgiving!

I don't know. This is my first airbrush and I have only used it once. I am a pure amateur.

It works great for the two airbrushes I use, a Paasche Talon and an Iwata Eclipse HP-BS. Both are dual action.

Hey Nick , I'm not sure what your wanting to use this for but it is a very good airbrush compressor for airbrushing .

Since my purchase a year ago I have successfully used Model Master Enamel, Tamiya Acrylic paint, and Model Master Lacquer when painting small 1/72 scale plastic aircraft models. Thinning to the correct viscosity proved easier to learn than I had thought. This is my first airbrush. I am very diligent in keeping the system clean. I flush with thinner/solvent very quickly after use. If the brush must be more thoroughly cleaned, taking it completely apart can be a bother.

i wouldn't use it for spray painting unless spraying a small area its only 2.8 cfm sprayers use more than that... I use it for nail guns wouldn't use it for high cfm tools like angle grinders, sand blasters, air snips, hvlp or chisels. its a great compressor but still has limitations

Hello, I have several airbrush guns of varying sizes. The size of the airbrush gun that comes with this item was never specified; however, from my experience using .2mm, .3mm, and .35mm guns, I would say (and this is just my opinion) that the need size for this gun is 0.25 mm (or close). It works great for all kinds of makeup - I've used Dinair foundation with it, Kett foundation, and Temptu S/B foundation. All work great! The gun tends to get clogged easily due to the narrow needle size, so you have to clean it well after every use (and sometimes before using it unclog anything that was left over from the previous use.). This machine is great, and it has never failed me. Perfect for travel.

Car. I feel that this sprayer will be to heavy for you with your physical issues, even though it is well balanced. You would have to hold it with both hands and this would not allow good spraying action. I might suggest you try a paint roller system that has a pump in the handle with a reservoir to hold the paint. Wagner makes this product also.

I used it to airbrush scale models. I think its great for the price. Also its pretty compact and not too noisy.

I have this air gun, it is ok....one of my compressors only puts out 135psi at 60cfm, this gun doesn't have the power the Aircat has, so recently have purchased the AirCat. The Aircat has higher torque and is a better gun....esp when we hook it up to a compressor that puts out 175psi. Hands down, choose the Aircat.

I would give it a go at painting a car but make sure to use a LPHV paint gun... Like any other compressor make sure to use filters on the air line water will kill your paint job.

I don't know that spray gun but looked it up and see that it needs 18 cubic feet per minute of air. I'm not sure what the Iwata- Medea studio produces but I think far less so it would not be suitable. It is designed to run up to two airbrushes at a max of 70psi each. Good luck and sorry I can't give a more definitive answer. Clay

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

A gun that sells itself as "dual action" should be like a true "dual action" gun. I own several revolvers that are "dual action", but they are real guns. So, is this false advertising?

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.
