Is this particular airbrush good for not just painting the body of a model car, but fine detailing like penstriping fine and thicker lines? THANK YOU!

Not exactly sure. We literally just got it monday afternoon. But when we finally get to sit down and really play with it I will update you!

It worked great for awhile, but then the airbrush just started sputtering the makeup . That happened to a friend also...so I have gone back to regular makeup. Was an expensive purchase considering it did not work before having problems. My skin is not oily so can't answer that part of your question.

I would not recommend this brush. It does not hold enough paint and it's designed to do small details. Get a brush that can hold bottles or go to an automotive type gun.

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

I'm new to airbrushing as well. I got a hobby compressor from a company called Harbor Freight. It's a small thing, barely makes any sound, and gets good reviews. You can get a whole airbrush kit from them, but I wanted multiple brushes and a gravity feed one, so I got this brush for cheap. If you have a harbor freight near you I suggest stopping by, take the brush with you even, and match it up. They're small compressors, and very simple. Look for one with the moisture trap and pressure regulator on it. They sell it without the pressure regulator on it, and you'll want one with it rather than buy one separately. You can get the same basic compressor on here as well, but from Harbor Freight they've always got coupons online and in flyers, or sign up to have them mailed to you on their site even. You also could simply order it on their website if you DON'T have a Harbor Freight store near you.

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.

It works well for me,the extra air tank keeps it at the low air pressure pretty reliable but I just got in to air brushing in the last 2 years so I am no expert by any means hope this helps you make a knowledge decision.

I do not recommend it. If you want something for cloth you need to purchase a special paint you can thin to spray from the airbrush. These are strictly food grade coloring so the colors will look very different on cloth and may run and wash out when wet.

You need a compressor with a tank for airbrush. This compressor is not going to work for you.

there's lot of things can be wrong, I don't know new or old airbrush. air cans, cleaning, paint to thick , nozzle and so on. need to know more. Like the air comes out, mixing of the paint and parts all ok.

If you thin the paint correctly, it would probably do a decent job. I have never tried painting a car with it, but I have had excellent results using oil based urethane finishes. I would recommend trying a practice panel first before doing the real thing.

There are some significant differences between using an air compressor versus using spray cans. Pros: Air flow with a compressor is much more constant than spray cans and an airbrush can be much more accurate (with practice). Cons: Cleaning your airbrush is required to keep it functioning well. The compressor generates heat over time so you have to take breaks. I primarily use this to paint Warhammer miniatures, and I am very satisfied with its performance so far.

Hey,,YES, I used it to spray latex paints (some of which were quite thick),,without thinning and with generally good results. Ultimately though, the periodic clogging which became worse and worse prompted me to just ditch the machine. UGH

Not really. The nozzles are not meant for that type of precise work and the pressure would be too high and vary so much as to make control tough. An airbrush is the way to go for you.

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.

Actualy mine was named as a cosmetic airbrush although I use it for model making. It is a FANTASTIC bargan. One of those airbrushes alone would cost over a hundred bucks by them self. I have been very happy with mine. But the answer is YES, it would work just fine with airbrush cosmetics. I see no reason why it wouldn't.

I bought the two stage unit just for that reason. I collect cars, and the two stage unit is great. You can dry a car fast, no streaks, as always the less you touchthe paint. The less swirling. Another major advantage, with the blower unit, you can blow the water out from under trims, badges, light bezels, thats a big deal. Only issue the wheels are kind of cheap, no problem though. One of my kids had an old skate board. I put those wheels on. <Hint skate board wheels are great on it>
