Hi!! I am not new to cake decorating but I am new to air brushing. I am looking for advise on what kind of airbrush gun would be best for cake decorating! You guys are the best at advise!! Thanks so much!

I am actually searching for a great deal on one myself!

Here is a very portable airbrush system that is small and compact but works wonderful. It's $120 on Amazon but is sold at other places for about $140 plus shipping. It also comes with some airbrush colors to get you started.

I also have a Grex system which is portable but not as small as the one above plus it's much more expensive at about $409 for the airbrush and compressor.

I got my from Decopac.com it was $160 and I love it and the prices for the color are great.

I've actually been looking at the one Airbrush system by Creative Cutters. GSA was out of stock so I ordered the one from Amazon! I've read really good reviews on CC and other places.

Hi, I am using the Airmaster from Kopycake. You can order compressor and gun together. Has a nice long cord. Comes with 3 colors. I love mine!

Thanks so much for all your help and input!!

There were a few threads the end of last year I found very helpful in choosing my airbrush. I wound up with a Paasche Double Action and an ADJUSTABLE PSI Central Pneumatic compressor from Harbor Freight and am very happy. Here are some threads that may help you as well:

Tarheelgirl, I think you are going to really enjoy the amazon system, it is a great system for it's size. It's just so convenient. I love it. BTW, which color did you order? I got a pink one. It's purrty!

It just came today! I ordered the pink one and was very surprised at how small it is. Definitely will not take up a ton of room and it seems to have great pressure. It did come with a pack of 10 colors to start!

Question: Do you just fill the cup with the color like it is or do you have to put vodka with the color? What ratio? I would think you have to add vodka but thought it would be good to ask before wasting a bunch of color!

If it's airbrush color you use it straight. If it's gel color I wouldn't put it in my airbrush.

Great! It's airbrush color, AmeriColor AmeriMist. Definitely will not be putting anything other than airbrush color in it!

I just got the one from creative cutters for Mother's Day from GSA , I love it

That is the same exact one I purchased! Love it!!
