What kind of spray equipment do you use for spraying Faskolor  paint?

[Wizard Of Iz]

I use a Paasche Millennium airbrush and an inexpensive compressor from Harbor Freight.

 

Faskolor is very similar to (same as???) Createx Airbrush Colors so I use Createx 4011 Reducer and mix it to about the consistency of skim milk. That allows me to spray at about 10 psi to 20 psi.

I have used a $100 Harbor Freight coupon set up all the way up to the expensive Paasche and Iwata. My current is a Masters. In reality, any airbrush will spray Faskolor. Getting the viscosity (like milk) and the air pressure 15-20 psi is a good starting point. After that, it's all practice.

Iwata Eclipse. Tried an Iwata Neo had better luck with the Eclipse.

I use a Badger Patriot. I don’t do any fancy stuff, so it’s fine to just get an even coat on a body.

My painting requirements are exactly the same as Dennis. I recently bought a Paasche H-3 and it is great. nice smooth paint job and easy to clean up. 
 
I suspect a Badger 350 would work just as well, but have not used one.

Anyone who knows how to mask well can also get those "fancy paint jobs" with a single action brush. The Binks Wren was my work horse from 1970-2005 when I sprayed lacquer exclusively. I still have it backed away with a Badger compressor.

spray light coats & use a hair dryer in-between coats.

Last year I purchased this kit ($150) to learn how to airbrush.

Has been great for me....

I used a small gravity fed spray gun . I thinned the paint with window cleaner all went well i am very happy with the end result .
Cleaning  the spray gun with window cleaner is a must.

Dave, when you say window cleaner, do you mean a product such as Windex or do you use windshield washer fluid?
