My journey into the mystical arts of finishing with lacquer have brought me to the point where I believe I need an air brush for small touch ups. Having never used one I have no idea what to buy. I can see two main types ie gravity and siphon types.
What I need to be able to do is apply finish to small blems in solid colour areas ie edges of a burst. My spray area is not what I would call "pristine" and the occasional midge or airborne flotsam tends to attach itself to the wet lacquer. Never seems to be under the pickguard (
I want a pattern that is quite solid at the center and decreases in saturation to mothing as it widens out to around say 20-30mm. Also having two compressors here already is it possible to hook it into a standard 50 liter compressor.
Can anyone recomend a reasonable unit at a moderate price point?
Happy to spend $100-150 ish plus conversion fittings to a standard airline.
Thanks in advance and apols for the triple barrel question

I love my airbrush's, they are the first go to spray equipment when doing repairs.
Devilbiss makes a brand called dagr, they have two types, one is a suction fed for general purpose painting and the other is a gravity fed for automotive work, I have both, the suction one which is the cheapest is the one I always use as it utilise a .5 needle, I find the automotive gravity fed one which uses the .35 is too fine

As with any of this stuff, you get what you pay for.
I've used a few different types when I did airbrush courses years ago and the best brand I've used is Iwata. The one I own is a Iwata Eclipse HPCS. It is gravity fed.

My Iwata gravity cup airbrush is excellent for tint and finish touchups.
