where to find an airbrush

the only paint shop around my area that does auto paint isnt in business anymore or at least cant find their number... called a local auto parts store and they can mix the paint for me but cant put it in a rattle can.... and got to thinking i could probably paint the new grille shell with an airbrush.... so i am thinking of buying a good cheap airbrush kit... anyone have any ideas where to find one?

harbor freight tools unless you are going to use it alot,might want better quality but they work alright

 

i plan on spraying the grille shell for the 01-03 grille and maybe mess around with it some nothing major.... IIRC the guy said he would mix some paint for me for around 5-10 bucks and they have the clear in the aresol can just cant put the color in one..... so i was thinking about getting a cheap airbrush to spray the grille frame.... and do i have to buy a air compressor strickly for the airbrush... i have a pancake compressor from sear that i can use....

this is the compressor that i have....

 

Harbor freight will fit the budget nicely dude!

 

that's what i was thinking after i made this thread..... just dont know if it will work with my compressor that i have or if i will need to buy one strictly for the airbrush

 

a 5 gallon compressor may do the job just check the sprayer and see what it requires

 

this is the one i was thinking about getting....

it says 15-60 psi is the required pressure....

 

pssssh i painted my grill and all with color matched spray paint and its got no runs

 

Cheap enough to try!

 

no color match spray for my color.... hell ford even dropped the color after a couple of years....

 

well thats dumb

 

There has to be a body shop around that can get you the colors you need. If not...ROAD TRIP!

 

i can get the color mixed just cant get it in the aresol can. so i was thinking about the airbrush.... they have a sprayer that i can buy for 10 bucks from what i've heard it's kinda like an airbrush.... just really trying to get ideas going down tomorrow to have the paint mixed..... may try my hand at painting it... not for sure yet....

 

Oh ok, what size compressor do you have?

 

it's a 3 gallon pancake....

 

I used this to paint my yellow camper top

You should be ok with that. Just wait til the tank fills then spray.
