Air Brush

[BillinOK]

On the recommendation of others here, I also picked up the Harbor freight brush. I picked up a nice badger compressor that had a brush only attached to it at a pawn shop for $65 which I thought was a decent deal for a badger.

I could not find just the bottles for the HF brush. I wanted some more so I just ended up buying another brush with the 5 or 6 bottles that come with it. Cheap enough.

For me it was very, very easy. I tried it on a couple pieces of scrap leather. My quality of finish with brown and mahogany skyrocketed immediately. It's almost impossible to make it uneven. I've not tried any two tone work with it yet. It might be a little tougher with the lack of control you might get from a higher quality brush.

I do want to try out the vacuum pump.

Some day I might end up in the black. Maybe. When I have ALL of the tools I need

Are you using a paint booth? Any ideas on a home built one?

My paint booth was a large cardboard box on top of my mini fridge until it warmed up enough that I take three steps outside my sliding door and do it right there outside. That way I don't have to hold my breath :D

I googled it and found several ideas up front. Look around, there are many to choose from.

I called HF and they shipped the little bottles to me for $1 each. Hard to beat!

See now - LW ROCKS! I pick up so many little helpful tidbits. Though that was an easy one, to pick up the phone, it's still good to know it can be done. Thanks!
