My son and I went to Hobby Lobby and looked for a simple, low cost air brushing kit, something to try besides rattle cans. Well, we decided on a Paasche EZ kit for $24.98 and a can of their "super propellant?" and went home to try it out.
Well, we should have done some research on the internet because this thing is what other's who have tried it said. It's JUNK. Pure and simple junk. The propellant can wouldn't deliver a constant amount of pressure and the cheezsy little regulator that came with it was useless for what it was suppose to do.
We tried water based paint, solvent paint, distilled water by itself and got pretty much the same results. It even clogged on water! We can't afford hundreds of dollars to buy the kind of equipment Chip Foose uses. All we want to do is paint something with something that's adjustable.
Paasche, Iwata, and other brushes start out in the eighty to one hundred dollar range, and that's pure nonsense. I guess the old addage is right, you get what you pay for. Rattle cans of good quality paint are still in the five buck range and we'll be sticking with them.
