Timbertech Airbrush Kit With Compressor AS18-2K Basic Start Kit With Air Hose, Cleaning Brushes, and Test Paints for Hobby, Body Tattoo, Model painting, Automotive Graphic, Make-up

After buying a slightly cheaper airbrush kit and receiving it broken I took a chance on this unit being of better quality. This is my first experience using an airbrush so my only knowledge is what I have read online. There is no comparison between the one received defective and this unit! I set this airbrush and compressor up like the instructions said and instantly was able to paint like I thought it should work. After a bit of practice I am ready to attempt repairing some scratches on my car. I also have some very fine painting work to do on a gauge assembly in my machine shop. So far after an hour of use I am very pleased with my purchase of this unit. The compressor holds 32 psi real well.

Light weight, portable, good power for air brush, comes with all fittings. Build quality is 8/10. Would definitely use again buy again

I bought one of the cheap airbrush kits and quickly regretted it and started looking for something new and better.This thing has eased all my frustrations with airbrush painting that the cheap kit gave me. It hasn't clogged if I stop painting for five to ten minutes. It's spray and coverage is so much better.I high recommended this airbrush set. Do not go cheap in this. Even if your new to airbrush and learning. You will save yourself a world of frustrations.The user manual not very helpful, but you get the jest of how it works pretty quickly.Overall, I'm super happy with this purchase.Should anything go wrong, I'll update my review.

Use it like it's supposed to be used and it will last a long time.

Super happy with the compressor, i beem doing projects lately and this helps a lot, i can blend colors and spray the paint instead of brushes

Good value, everything you need to get started

So far after a week of use I'm still happy. This compressor is quiet, yes for an air compressor it is almost silent. The sound of the actual airbrush is about the same.It has no problem keeping up with any of my airbrushes including a Paasche Talon and Neoeco SJ83. I spray at 20psi or a little bit less and pressure stays constant. Mine had absolutely no air leaks. The included airbrush is also surprisingly good and was clean as a whistle inside, no manufacturing debris or excess oils. The brushes are ok and the hose seems good.

I've been a professional artist for over 35 years. I did a lot of airbrush in my time with pro level equipment. When digital art became preferable for my type of work, I got rid of all my air brush stuff. Chapter closed or so I thought. Now semi-retired I just want to paint a few miniatures. Wow! While this is a first impression (so I may revise in the future) it does what it needs to do. I love how compact it is and the auto on and off feature so it doesn't run constantly. It has no tank so it has to run while you airbrush. It's very quiet compared to the beast I used to use professionally years ago. The built in pressure regulator and moisture trap are a plus and a total necessity. Don't buy any compressor with out those. Not sure why other reviewers here have pressure consistency issues. Mine responded to fine adjustments and the pressure stayed right where I set it. It has a nice lock down cap to keep the setting dialed in. And actually the airbrush that came with it isn't that bad either. It's actually better than the first airbrush I used professionally in the 80's. The paint is crap so I tossed that immediately.Learning to use an airbrush is a trick under the best of circumstances regardless of your equipment so do yourself a favor if you're a beginner. Do some research and watch a few videos. Setting air pressure is key. This compressor topped out at 30psi and thats usually too much for most airbrush paint. The more viscous the paint the more pressure you need but the paint needs to be thin enough to flow well. You need less pressure than you think. Watery thin paint goes through for me beautifully at about 18 PSI. A slightly more viscous paint is usually good with about 20-22psi. If you are at the max 30 and still not getting flow, your paint is probably too thick. The other key is cleaning. You'll do it a lot especially if you use acrylic which most hobbyists do. The constant air flow dries the paint quickly so regardless of airbrush you'll get clogs. You need to clean frequently and after your session probably do a disassembly cleaning. The quality of the compressor is important but has little to do with those specific issues which can be finicky. For the time being, as a decent first hobby air compressor I can recommend it.
