Thinking about buying an airbrush. Anyone else using one? I would use it to apply Solution Finish to tough areas like cowls in front of the windshield. Maybe use it to apply coatings, I think it would work well on some wheels. Maybe to apply tire coatings? Probably could use it for lots of little tasks. I will post a link of a place that I Found that has a great selection. What do you all think? Worth the investment or pass? Thanks for any help.

Think so. Can't remember his son's name, but they did a couple of threads on it.

PM Anthony. He's super nice and helpful. Years ago, he sent me detailed directions on how to apply optiseal that way. Including the specific gun/tip etc.
 
they have some guys on YouTube applying tire dressing with spray guns. seen some air brushed with carpro dlux too
 
Yes, I saw where Chris Thomas said about applying Opti Seal with a airbrush. Anthony's son is Cameron, right? Cam made an account here, but i dont see him posting much... I may have to PM Anthony. Thanks Ron
 
This seems like a really cool idea! I hate dressing that area in front of the windshield. always such a pain to do
 
Oldfordisbetter- I only used it for painting plastic models, which I was into in a *BIG* way back in the day. I really liked Paasches, much better than the Badger I started with, and IMO it's a good brand if you want to get one.

But as for using it for *detailing*, sorry but I'm clueless.
 
I would not spend big money to shoot car care products. I have a few air brushes and paint guns but I use a Harbor Freight gun spraying Tire protectants etc. Unlike Accumulator I do have a Badger air brush and it works very well for me with paint. I would not shoot anything but paint in it tho.

davidc-Tthat does look like a good setup for the $. And regarding the Badgers, they make a few different ones and the model I started with as a kid (back in maybe '72) wasn't one of their better models.
