Recommended Airbrush Machine For Cakes
Decorating By Nicolle711 Updated 24 Mar 2010 , 4:37pm by CakeMakar
Hello all! I know I have seen many threads here in the past about airbrushing machines, techniques and recommendation. However, when I do a search for them, I get no results ![]()
I am ready to purchase an airbrushing machine but I just do not know which one to get. For those that use an airbrush, which machine do you use, recommend? I am looking for something affordable but obviously good quality.
If you have link to threads about this, I will take those as well ![]()
Thank you in advance ![]()
Here's what I came up with when I did a search http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-608279-air.html+brush
Thank you Tiggy! This is exactly what I was looking for...I have lots of researching to do know. Greatly appreciated ![]()
My Dad bought mine for me and he went to the local hobby/toy store. Mine is for painting models and doing crafts and such. It was a little under $300 and works like a dream!! It came with lots of different fittings and stuff so I could make it paint almost anything (not that I really know how) LOL
I also got the actual airbrush colors too. I don't do the mixing with vodka or anything. They were kind of expensive ($45?) but they will last me for years so it was worth it.
I got mine from TCP Global's store on EBAY. I paid around $165 for the compressor, gun, and a case of 12 4.5 oz airbrush colors. Great deal!
I have to say, the first compressor I bought developed problems pretty quickly. Took forever to pump up, etc. But, when I called them, they were GREAT about resolving the problem asap. They didn't even ask me to send the old compressor back, but immediately sent out a new one.
When I got the new compressor, it was a higher model than the one I'd ordered. Again, I called them to find out why they sent me a better, more expensive compressor. They told me that the one I had originally ordered was out of stock, so they sent me an upgrade. That was months ago, and the new unit has been working like a charm. I would happily buy from them again, and I know a lot of others on CC have units they've purchased from TCP Global.
I got mine from TCP global for about $160.00. It was a xmas gift. That included gun, line, compressor, and 12 large bottles of color and shipping. AD-Kit 20 I believe. The first compressor I got didn't work at all. I called, they immediately sent a replacement which did work and I didn't even have to send the old one back. I will buy again from them. I have had it a year and 3 months and it works great. I don't dilute my colors with vodka or anything. But I mix my metallic very well, spray at a higher psi and definitely make sure I clean the gun extremely well as the metallic gets pretty darn sticky when dry.
I got mine from airbrushcity.com I got one of their combos and got three different airbrushes, a compressor with moisture filter and a couple of airlines for around $140. I got them a couple of years ago so prices may have gone up a titch since then. I got a dual action brush, a trigger type brush and a single action brush in the combo. They have many combos to choose from.
Thank you all! I have my researching to do....now I know what to ask my DH for my birthday ![]()
I bought mine on airbrushcity.com as well. Great price and they have sales frequently. It's also the model Bronwen Weber recommends in her classes - the GD100. It's currently on sale for half price and free shipping. I got a compressor at Harbor Freight.
