Master Airbrush Cool Runner II Air Brush Kit with Air Compressor Dual Fan, 3 Airbrushes, 6 Color Acrylic Paint Set, Hose, Brushes & Learning Guide Manual for Crafts, Auto, Tattoo & Model Painting

This thing is GREAT.Now, this is a day-one review from someone who has never touched an airbrush before. I do a variety of hobbies and most of them require painting. I got pretty good with acrylic paints and small brushes, but I've always wanted to use a medium that doesn't result in brush strokes. I like using spray paint for this reason on larger projects, but smaller projects always proved difficult. Thus began my hunt for an entry-level airbrush kit. This was a birthday present to myself, and it came in on my birthday! I spent about 10 minutes unboxing the kit and looking around at everything. I plugged in the air hose, plugged in the compressor, attached the airbrush stands, and I examined the three airbrushes that came with the kit. I picked one of the pre-assembled fine-point airbrushes, plugged it into the hose, and added about 5 drops of red paint to the cup.As my finger depressed the trigger and slid it backwards slightly, THE PAINT STARTED FLOWING! I was airbrushing! I made a series of dots, lines, scribbles, and I even wrote my name. I tried some feathery, fluffy lines, and some super fine tight lines.I moved my airbrush over to one of my active projects and let the paint flow! Nope, I didn't do so hot and I screwed it all up. No worries, I'll get it all fixed up and ready for my next round of airbrushing.This is something you will need to practice with, and I look forward to playing with it. The compressor is super quiet (it can wobble around the table a little if it isn't sitting flat). This kit is super easy to setup and use. It works great.A couple notes. The paint is water-based and ready to spray. HOWEVER, be aware of what you are painting on if you expect vibrant colors. One of my projects was primed grey, and the airbrushed paint looks dull and semi-transparent. I may have to give it 5 or 10 coats to build up a comparable level of coverage as brush-based acrylic painting. OR, just prime your surface WHITE instead, and that should help the vibrancy of the paints.Cleanup took 2 minutes. I used the included brush cleaner, which worked fine, but I also used warm water since this is all water based paints. I also bought this cleaning pot, which worked like a charm! I would highly recommend this, as you need to spray a good amount of cleaner or water through the brush to make sure everything is out.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XZT4V3C?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_detailsThis kit was $150 and came with a ton of stuff. I think this is fantastic! I can't wait to try out all the brushes, paint colors, compressor PSI settings, etc. Well worth the money.Only time will tell if it will hold up. I'm not a full-time artist or airbrusher. If I use this a couple times per month, or a few hours per month, that's probably a lot for me. We shall see. I'm super excited that it arrived and works as advertised! :-)

I have a guitar repair shop where this kit has become an essential tool. We get quite a few guitars with broken headstocks. Gibsons are notorious for their breaks. This compressor is quiet, durable, and easy to set up and maintain. The airbrush perform much better than I expected and produces excellent results. My clients are impressed with the results. One repair, and the kit paid for itself. Now it's making money for the shop.

Hobby painting. Nice equipment and at a fair price. Easy to use. Seems quite sturdy.

Not a bad set of airbrushes. Both gravity fed brushes work well. The model g25 brush is the best of the 3 included here, both in atomization and for doing the the real fine detail work. From my understanding it is real close in design to one of the Iwata airbrushes, which isn't surprising considering they're Chinese made brushes and the Chinese reverse engineer everything and make copies of them. The model g22, also a gravity fed brush, has a much bigger cup on it and does well also but is not as good as the g25 for the real fine lines and work. The least of my favorites is the last airbrush. The e91 syphon fed brush. I'll be using this brush more for covering large portions of my models, for which i bought this kit for. So for the syphon fed i'll only use it for things like say spraying the bodies of my aircraft or car models. For use in stenciling letters or painting out camouflage patterns I'll use one of the gravity feds. The compressor that is included is a tankless pump. It is surprisingly quiet, and the only qualms i have with it is that i have to set the pressure regulator to a couple of psi above my intended setting. IE: If i want it at 20 psi i have to put the regulator at about 22-23 psi because as soon as i start spraying it drops down a couple of psi. Other than that it does maintain that dropped psi while spraying. Another problem is that it states that the compressor goes as high as 50 psi. Well u can set it that high but as soon as you start spraying it drops all the way down to around 35 psi. All around i believe it's not a bad kit to learn on. But if you're already a pro you might as well go with the more reputable brushes and compressors. Also from my understanding these types of compressors go out rather quickly because they do not have an air tank, the diaphragm that works just like an aquarium air pump wears out. Last thing... Which ain't too big a deal for me but the compressor does get pretty hot after just spraying the body of my models or any kind of prolonged use. Other than that so far so good!

This is a great combo kit to start with. The tank is a nice add, but the compressor still turns on more often than I'd like. That said, I would still opt for the tank over the kit without the tank. I purchased both kits and returned the one without the tank. There was some trial and error and frustration due to me having no experience with a paintbrush, and not knowing exactly how thin the paint I used needed to be. It turns out it needed to be very thin, and even the 'ready to spray' paints needed thinner to be added to them to prevent clogged nozzles.If you're wondering whether to drop $200ish on an airspray kit to begin experimenting with - this will work well. I'm still enjoying the experience a week later and am now having fun printing out stencils to use with the airbrush, using a cricut and 3d printer... def. a good value for the money.
