Paint and airbrushing tips and advice

For anyone interested the latest Aldi catalogue has the compressor and siphon airbrush kit for $79 in the latest catalogue.

It's very tempting, but I really do wonder if I'd ever get around to using it.

I remember looking this up and doing some research when they had it on sale a couple of years ago.

Probably the biggest drawback of this set is the lack of a reservoir tank to help keep airflow consistant, not having any direct response to the pump.
there are a couple alternatives here and here that have that feature.

they are still cheap pumps, like the one at Aldi, so probably not as good as something you spend 400 or $500 on but for the amount of spray work I'll ever do any one of the 3 would do the job.

Sorry. Didn't realise that. The one I got last time had the tank.

You don't need the tank. The air in my setup goes from the compressor to 2 moisture traps and 2 lengths of hose so any pulsing is negligible by the time it gets to the airbrush.

Bought a compressor that came with an airbrush recently, just uses an electric compressor, suits my beginner needs and after replacing the airbrush I'm discovering the joy of painting yellow in thin consecutive layers.

I guess light colours, sorry tints (google it ), have to be done this way?

For best results, they should all be done this way.

Anyone airbrush using acrylic inks, in particular white? I have questions.
