Hi,
New to airbrushing and about to purchase my first one. I've been using a regular HVLP gun in the past to spray this red burst effect around the edge of guitars (paint is cellulose, metallic) as in the picture.
I'd like to start doing it with an airbrush instead for more control. But i'd also like the airbrush to be able to handle full lacquer coats / colour coats as well (so I can make it a one for all brush) and relegate my HVLP gun to retirement!
I figure i'd need larger needle and fan pattern (and I guess a large cup for when doing full clear coats). And also something that can handle solvent paints.
Can anyone suggest some models that can do all this? ie. detail and larger coverage?
Ones I'm looking at are
-Iwata RG3 (with fan cap)
-Paasche Talon (with fan cap) - will this handle full lacquer / colour coats??
Also looked at Vfan but can't seem to find any in the UK (and parts would be hard to come by too)
Much appreciate any advice as I've been googling like mad for weeks trying to decide!!
