Has anyone bought one like this?
I just want to play around with it and don't want to drop a bunch of $$$ so I was thinking something cheap like this.
But if it's a waste of money then I'll come up with something else.
Don't know anything about airbrushes so any advice would be awesome.
Thanks!
I've never seen it before but it doesn't look too bad. It has the right PSI on the compressor and it's a gravity feed brush which most people prefer. I guess I'd give it shot for $50 to start out with.
That was my thought when I ordered it. I figured if I found out I needed a better one at least I was only out 50 bucks on this one. But it is really nice.......and I don't have a really expensive piece of equipment that I don't use enough. There are too many other things I want to spend money on.
Awesome, I really wanted to buy it but I did'nt know if it was going to be a hunk of junk, it's listed right under one for 120$ so I was'nt sure.
I'll go ahead and get it, I really want to start airbrushing some of my 3-D cakes.
Now I see different nozzels for sale , do I need a few different ones or does one do it all?
I ordered this exact same airbrush from this company and so far I love it! Like you, I wanted to start experimenting with airbrushing but I didn't want to buy a really expensive machine when I don't know what I'm doing yet. So far, I have found this machine extremely user friendly and you can adjust your air flow for very thin lines or a broad spray. So far, for the basic types of things I use mine for I don't have a need for any additional needles. The one it comes with does a great job for me! Have fun playing and be sure to tell us what you think

A while back when I was looking for a new one, I saw that one. I called the company and the rep I talked to said this one would be ok if it was only used rarely...a few times a year....but the compressor doesn't have much power and he didn't recommend it if you needed to use it often.
The best deal turned out the be the one from that seller that is like $129 that come with 12 large bottles of airbrsh color.

thanks for that info!
yes, good luck and let us know how that airbrush performs for you! I need one too.
I want one too, please let us know how it works....Thank you and goo luck
Hope it works out for you! That would be awesome to afford an airbrush at that price.
Hope those who wanted one got one at the $50 price because now they are nearly $60. They changed the auction price - still offers free shipping though.
Hi Cakemom!!
You've recieved good answers from all these folks, basicly, all Airbrushes can be used for Airbrushing on cakes
..The more features and higher cost a Airbrush a brush has,the more uses you can get out of it,..a basic single-action hobby Airbrush for about 20 dollars can still do a sweet fade and color saturations on a cake. I use a double-action airbrush because I MUST be able to do high detail on all my Art, because thats who I am.
Any Airbrush thats taken good care of can last unbelievabily long(key word is taken good care of.) I still have and use one of my airbrushes I aquired over 18 years ago,in fact,its my favorite,at the time it cost $75 dollars for the kit.
With the right motivatiopn and a little help here and there, you are going to love the Airbrushing scene, it has no limits.
Live to Paint, Paint to live!
oops, I had wronge blogspot on my signature!! its corrected now!
OK
I got my air brush today 
BUT I don't know how to use it
nothing come with it to explain how to use itanybody can help ?? or any toturial ?? I search in internet but nothing for the cake decorating.
Thanks
Hello farnaz....
Unfortunately some companies have the gall to not send manuals under all kinds of guises.......Fortunately, most Airbrushes are similar quite a bit to each other so that if you can find a Manual fron another Airbrush or a learning aid of some sort as in vidieos, How to books, and on-line instruction clips.
I dont know half of all the companies out there but these i know can help you...bearair.com (1-800-232-7247) has a marvelous "Airbrush Bible" packed with all kinds of information you can get for free i believe and.... tcpglobal.com (1-858-909-2110) whom has lots of cakery supplies and i believe on-site vidieos that you watch on-line.
Either company is not exclusive Cakery stuff,but extremely helpful since if you can paint a shirt or car with a airbrush,you should be able to paint a cake.
....Once you get a little of knowledge under your belt ,you will find a Airbrush a invaluble tool for your needs.
.........................Live to Paint, Paint to Live!!
.....mmmmm,I teach classes here in Saginaw, Michgan...but i imagine I'm a little far away for you.
