Does anyone here use an airbrush for their painting?  I'm looking for an airbrush (to purchase) and wanted to know some info about them (ie. what type for painting sub boxes, some brands to look at, prices, ect.).

I am not sure which particular Model and Type you should
use, but a good place to get it once you do know is at

For general Airbrushing information, I found this link to be
helpful...

Start there, I hope that helps.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.

Will a little airbrush work for a sub box (probably big enough for 2 10" subs)?  Is there another type of sprayer that I can look into or will this cover the box in a reasonable amount of time?

BTW thanks for the info Melted Fabric it did help a ton.

you can pick up a detail sprayer from an hardware store. good for medium sized aplications. if you try to paint a box with an air brush you will not be happy with the result, air brushing is for detail/graphic work only.

Sweet thanks man.  Yeah I've always been interested in airbrushing and I'm kinda wanting to get into it now.  I saw a guy the other day paint the most realistic flames on this oldschool ford.  I know it will take a LONG time to learn how to do that but I've done a little research and found that a sprayed (airbrush/detail sprayer) gives a cleaner finish than painting or even spray paint.  Cool I'll check it out.
