A"I just have an Iwata" she says...lol. That's kinda the best one out there! One of them anyways.

AOh yep. The master of fine airbrushing (of cakes anyways), Karen Portaleo uses them, and a few others I know of. I want one pretty badly, but am lazy and still use a Kopykake...piece of junk. But I don't do enough to justify the cost at the moment.

AI attended a great airbrushing class at the ICES convention in Lexington last month. Roland Winbeckler is a master at airbrushing! He uses a Pegasus airbrush set. He let people try it out at his booth in the vendor room. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use. That is the airbrush I will buy! You could make it so fine that you could write on the cake. And the compressor is so small, you wouldn't believe it. You can check it out at www.winbeckler.com. He also has some great books and possibly some videos on airbrushing. I learned more in his one hour class than all the YouTube videos put together.

My new Grex, trigger handled, airbrush arrived this week and I am in love.  I have been using a really cheap one that I bought on ebay cos I wasn't sure how much I would use it but I got so excited every time I got it out that for my birthday I got the Grex.  It is a dream to use and even though I am pretty useless I actually feel like I have some control over what I am doing now, rather than just hoping the spray would be in the vicinity of where I wanted it (the cheap one was not very accurate and only really good if you did not want precision).

JWinslow  Lisa Berczel from Grex has done a fairly comprehensive Craftsy class on airbrushing that I thing is great for beginners.  She also has a few very short clips on the Grex site that are worth looking at. 

guess I'll save my pennies and get a good one instead of a no name Ebay...

I can't afford it at this time but Amazon has ONE left at $40 off...just the gun. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002XQ2K5M/?tag=cakecentral-20+airbrush

I bought the Grex Tritium TS with the 0.3mm nozzle.  More expensive but I can buy converter kits to fit it to change the nozzle size.  That's for when I get better and need more options (Tongue in cheek?).

Anyone bought the crafsy airbrushing class? is it any good?

Claire I found the class really good.  It is much easier to understand what you are doing when you understand how the airbrush works.  I am a real beginner and have really only aimed in the vicinity of my cakes in the past but now I understand what I am trying to do, even if I don't quite achieve it.

Thanks Cazza,

I saw you posted on the other thread too. Appreciate it, am so excited to get the airbrush. Could do with it already though

I have worked with Dawn and she is a fantastic demonstrator, the airbrush is fantastic and with a two year guarantee you can't go wrong, her colours are amazing as they are the only colours that you can layer, meaning that if you have a blue sky you can paint a yellow sun and hey presto it doesn't turns green. Thank you Dawn.

You can buy from

The cake Decorating Company, they have great shipping rates too.

AI agree with you Debbie, I was lucky enough to get the dinkydoodle airbrush for my birthday, and can get the colours from the cakes around town.

Can we purchase the Dinky Doodle airbrush in the US?  Thanks.

AHi I've just ordered a dinky doodle air brush as the reviews are great, but I was wondering if you can use a different make of airbrush colour in the airbrush as the dinky doodle colours are mega expensive like I haven't paid enough for the machine alone? Thanks please get back to me ASAP thank you

AHow do you post

I use the Americolor ones in my Dinkydoodle. I don't know how they are price wise comparatively, I use them bc they are kosher (I'm Jewish). I asked Dawn before buying the machine and she said Americolor works fine in her machines. I can't vouch for other makes but I think they are probably all within the same price range. This is not an inexpensive job. 

im sorry but theres no need to be funny with me, but I wanted to put a post and I dint know how so I just searched air brush and replied to this as I don't know how to use this site

thank you, do you think ant colour will work then if its an airbrush colour

I would imagine so but please don't take my word for it, you should email Dawn at Dinkydoodle and ask her.

AOk thank you do you know her email?

nevermind

You can probably google it, I imagine it's on the box of the airbrush you bought. Good luck.

AOk thank you I found it and emailed her this morning but I haven't had a reply yet
