Right how he's just forming the masks and not really painting or dying them at all. Other than the fact that he seems to have his heart set on airbrushing them, I don't think he's even sure what paint to use. I'm attaching an example photo. A friend has suggested that I pick up a Badger Patriot 105 which looks good and has decent reviews but I've also read that it would get cloggy with thick paint and since I'm not sure what paint will be used, I'm not sure what constitutes "thick". I guess part of my question has to be, what's a good airbrush paint for leather masks? Based on what I'm reading on the internet, a lot of the options are pretty much personal preference which makes it really difficult to make a gift of it.

I posted this elsewhere before I saw that there was an actual Masks section on these forums. My husband has taken up leather masks as a hobby and is really into it. He's gotten to the point where he wants to start painting them and thinks that an airbrush is the way to go. Neither of us has experience with airbrushes but I'd like to get him one for his birthday. Can anyone give me pointers on what would be a good choice? or things to look out for?

Hi there, I'm looking to purchase an airbrush for my husband who has recently begun to make leather masks as a hobby and I don't even know where to begin. Any suggestions or ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks so much!
