The airbrush has several sizes of tip which can give you a good

I know nothing about airbrushes. Any recommendations? What do these things
cost?


You can get a decent airbrush for well under $100. I have a little Pasche VL
that comes with three different needle sizes and an assortment of cups (and I
think it even came with a can of gas, which is a pain in the butt for real use
and I normally drive it from an air compresser). I think it runs $65 for the
whole set at a hobby store.

Just be real careful with IMRON (I think we went through this before) especially
when spraying it. Frankly, if you have a steady hand, a small paint brush on
just the heads might work as well.
