Just came back frm Petaling Street.Managed to find Venus Art after some 30 minutes of searching  .Snapped a few pics while there.As ezCISS said,the uncle there very helpful  .





the uncle said that if i buy the compressor with tank(picture 3&4) n the airbrush (picture 2),i'll only need to pay Rm 860    i really liked the Olympos AB because it is a side feed airbrush(meaning that the 'cup' where u put the paint is at the side,thus enabling me to see my work better) and also 3 types of paint cups is included,small,medium and large.All in all,i'm very satisfied n now can study for PMR more peacefully.Can't wait till my exam is over   

Thank you for the info, will check my local hardware store for adjustable pressure compressor, now the only problem is to figure out how to connect air brush to the compressor. 

Can you please share with us where to get the "good stuff", I've done my best to my knowledge of KL shops already

Cheers!

btw guys,anyone noe where to get denatured alcohol/rubbing alcohol???And do you guys noe if this stuff is allowed to be touched for a muslim???thanks

Consider it as poor mans thinner for model kits.  I think nail cleaning alcohol is migh melt the models kits 

i know how to paint by using spraying can..but i think i can learn how to spray air brush quit fast...btw, how much is the normal kit cost? erm...kinda ex for me to play play with it le

Just checked out ArtFriend yesterday.

Plenty of paints, inks, paper, wood, brassrods, stencils, brushes etc etc...

Also a whole range of Badger airbrushes.

All the double action Badger ABs selling for 488.

But there's a 10%discount after paying rm10 for membership.

Also Badger compressed air canisters, small rm36, large rm56.
The large one, from what a guy told me, is enough for painting 3 modelling kits.

There's also a selection of 'cheap'-er Badger single actions with plastic handles.

There are a few boxsets, small air can, plastic singleaction AB, hose, connectors, regulator etc... for 300+

But I still find these boxsets expensive. Cos in S'pore, I found a few taiwan imitations of the exact same design going for sgd58, without the small air can.

The air compressors are expensive. The ones with moisture trap etc going for 1200+.

Best option so far is still Venus Art...

can use the air brush tool to spray the whole car or not?

there is such AB which u can just change the noozle...but it's not maintaince free la...

the needle is keep inside the AB, when cleaning, u cant actually clean it throughly, so when stuck...it's bye bye...dun need to maintain...

maintaince free lo....muahahahaha

me almost 20th or maybe 22th project already with my mini compressor..
if you take good care of it..it will last long one la..the same with your airbrush..no problem with mine so far..always use less then 15min per session..then rest 15min..

btw..taking care of airbrush and cleaning them are very pain is the ass..very damn hard..but it worth it cause it will last longer with proper caring

a lil bit noob question does iwata airbrush can connect to the sparmax compressor?

BIG BIG NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I hope u have not ordered or anything yet,but i've heard nothing but bad stuff for the Aztek.At first,i also drooled at the quick change nozzles,bla bla bla,then i read people complain can't spray well,the nozzles too flimsy,not worth it.I donnoe,should look for other airbrush.Just my airbrush
I'm glad ur happy with it.As a matter of fact,VA has just increased(i think) the price for the AB and compressors.My friend called the other day and the uncle said the price has changed,and worst of all,he said come to shop first then i'll tell.About the mixing thing and pressure setting,don't worry,you're not the only one.Everyone have this problem,even the pros.It's just trial and error,like you said.I'm also glad the compressor is silent.

P/S: i wonder why this thread so quiet 

Btw guys,now i actually do think the compressor has a moisture trap already.If u see beside the tank,it has some sort of valve,and it looks very similar to any moisture trap.And as with moisture trap,the moisture needs to be drained out,and it works in a similar fashion as the one at the bottom of the tank.Hmmmm,maybe the uncle is right after all.What do u guys think???

care to explain more???And what do u mean by this 'Maybe just a regulator to control the air pressure' ???I noe the regulator on the moisture trap is to control PSI,but somehow i think ur talking about something else
