I am putting an airbrush on my Christmas list....can anyone tell me a good system that isn't overpriced and yet still does a nice clean job?

And also what is a good instructional video for airbrushing techniques..I purchased a video online and it was not cheap to buy but the video was cheaply done ...just not a good instructional video!

Thank you

I got the 'Master' airbrush for Christmas last year from my son, and I really like it so far.

It's easy to use, easy to clean and I've had good results with the projects I've used it on so far. It does take some practice to get an even color on your cake, but I just set up a box turned on its side on my counter and practiced on paper towels till I got the feel of it. I know that mine is probably on the lower end, cost wise but I didn't want him to invest a lot of money into something that I wasn't expert at.

I can't help on the video instruction, but I have learned a lot from watching youtube tutorials.

Good luck, and be sure and post pics of your airbrushed cakes.

I tested the iwata, Badger, and Grexx airbrushes before I bought mine. I really liked the Grexx, but I couldn't see paying their prices. I went with the Badger and I have really enjoyed using it!

I have the masterairbrush also, have had it for over a year with no issues. I watched youtube videos and practiced on scrap paper and cardboard. I got it on amazon for about $75.

Thank you so much for the help....I am so excited to start airbrushing!

My main issue was getting the coordination down, with pulling the trigger, how far to pull it back, bringing it back forward prior to pulling away, how far away to place the nozzle, thats where the practice on the cardboard helped. Get coloring books too, to help practice staying in lines.
