Does anyone know how the Paasche compares to the Master Airbrush&reg; Brand Portable Hobby Airbrush Spray Booth?

I use the paasche regularly. It folds up completely into a relatively small box and nothing hanging out or extra to carry. It folds out easily and the powercord is hidden in the unit and unrolls out. You really have to paint straight toward the filter or the fan won't do a great job of sucking the fumes in. It turns out that I have had almost no need for the portability and wish I bought a larger, non-portable booth instead.

I've bought Real Technique brushes from amazon and ultra. The quality are the same. I haven't had any problems buying real technique brushes from Amazon. I make sure the ratings are good and there are a lot of comments. Also I make sure it ships directly from amazon's warehouse. If you do find yourself in that predicament just return it. Amazon's customer service is great and I've always received stellar service with my returns and purchases.

I think they are the same product, based strictly on my own experience. I was given the spray last year but frankly, I'm too lazy to remember to use it regularly. The diffuser doesn't need my attention so, yay.

I have a airbrush compressor that is 1/5 HP oil-less and quite quiet. It will overheat after like an hour or so, but works great, just make sure if you get a small compressor that you do NOT get one without a tank on it. It should look like 2 tanks on top of each other. If you get one without a air tank on the bottom you will get inconsistent air pressure as well as overheat it pretty quick. Mine is a silver motor on top of a black tank and is pretty small has a moisture trap and air hose. Also this airbrush is probably not going to be best suited for you if you are going to be painting miniatures. The needle is large which allows quite a bit of paint to come out making it very difficult to paint small details. I would recommend the badger renegade krome. The patriot seems to work well with putting out a lot of paint. I use my patriot for laying down kandy colors over a larger surface than a miniature. The krome will produce hair size lines, or like inch size lines, with the 105 patriot you will likely not get any finer of a line than a skinny marker would give you.

Going from the Wacom Intuose (previously the bamboo) to the Intuos Pro was every bit worth it. Some may not realize just how much of a difference there is between 1024 and 2048 levels of pressure but it is night and day! The level of control I get out of the pro version blows me away. I don't do work in CS6 as I switched from That to Manga Studio 5 and Paint Tool Sai for my artwork but I am 100% sure it will make a huge difference in PS just the same as those programs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you can afford the Pro, don't waste your money on anything less.

I use other air brush foundation from other airbrush cosmetics, but I found a water base power by Oreal that I can use with my sprayer. It seems to work great for me. Go the the website of salon supply and you will find your foundations for your airbrush gun for a cheaper price. Good product at a great price and a larger bottle for the money.

I have found that the 3m ones seem to last longer and provide more filter action, even though they are rated the same. I get the 3m ones, because I deal with spray paint in my art and it's very bad if you inhale it. The difference is not big between these two, but safety is important.

I would say that they are about equal. I use the tweezerman at home and the simply beautiful in my travel kit. I would say it boils down to the aesthetics of wood vs. plastic handle.

Hello, yes this is a good all around airbrush, however if you are going to be spraying large areas I would suggest using spray cans ,rollers, and paintbrushes to complete your base coats . Then follow up with the airbrush to do the finer details and fades . If you are going to do large fades I would suggest a mini spray gun like the iwata lph80, or anything similar to that. This will definitely make it much quicker.

The airbrush is good for detail painting and it's awesome for scale models. However, based on the size of the paint reservoir and that you're painting such a large panel...you might need something more industrial than this unless you have a lot of patience.

Hi angie, I believe so as most of the airbrush kits are the same brand from americolor and their colours are waterbased. Btw the colours are amazing and bright. Haven't used my airbrush kit yet so I can't tell for 100 percent certain.

I haven't used both but have used the master air brush. its very small so depending on what your using it for you should consider how much you will need to fill the units container and the also the size of grit you need to do your work.

Iam not an airbrusher but this can handle hi-pressure/low volumne work with ease. I use mine in my woodshop for shooting brads with absolutely no problems!

PhotoPlus Serif do not have the air brush or air spray brush, but Serif DrawPlus x 5 does, the spray brush and corel painshop pro x 4 or even x 2 include the air brush, that you can use to do anything you like, changing features in face or body, adding sun tan, color, skin tones or shapes, adding make up or deleting, depending of what pictures are you working with. Both program I own and both are great programs.

I think the Minimate is stronger & I liked the grille on top that protected the emitter. But mine died after 12 hours, so I went to the airtamer for that reason. A year later the airtamer is going strong, & I have been in cars with very sick people while wearing & not gotten ill. Perfume isn't taken care of that well unless you put your nose right on it for a breath of "fresh" air.

Yes, what you intend to use it for is the biggest factor. I bought the handheld model for small jobs, like priming a single sheet of plywood, some of my wood creations, or some other small project. I wouldn't get it for spraying an entire fence, room or house, I'd get the X5 for that. I have a bigger airless, but it requires too much extra paint just to fill the hose than a small project makes worthwhile, and so it can be wasteful on something small. Plus it takes longer to clean than the handheld. But the handheld holds only about a quart of paint, so if you had a very large area, you would be constantly refilling the feed jar and that would make a bigger job very frustrating and messy. Since the X5 will draw directly out of the paint can, or a 5 gallon pail, it is neater and simpler for a medium to larger job. If you only want one for now, go with X5 because it will be more useful and versatile in the long run, unless you are ONLY using it for small projects. An airless can make a job like fence, room or house painting a much quicker, less frustrating project, especially on textured surfaces, it's only drawback compared to a roller is over spray. And it usually puts out a nice consistent coat without lines and streaks, IF you practice and learn how to use them (getting a little added info from the internet for tips on use, is a good idea before starting).
