After my troubles with my old airbrush and compressor, I also had some problems with a cheap pressure regulator.  I got a much better one from my favorite hardware store - Parkrose Hardware.  It ran me $30+, but it works super!

   I also went past Harbor Freight and got one of their $18 units and a 10 foot braided hose.  I figure if I clog it up with acrylic while I am learning the correct consistency, I will cry less than if I gum up an expensive gun.  I did order a Paasche VL set.  It comes with 3 different needles and tips for very fine to coarse work.  I have not tried either of them out yet, but I have completely stripped the paint off the old Minitrix shell that I used in my first video.  There are still some tiny spots on the roof fans and around the rear door, but it came out pretty nice.

  Now the only decision is what color to paint it.  Granddaughter Violet's favorite color this week is teal....
