There are two basic types of airbrushes, Single and Dual Action.

Single are simpler to use and are most commonly used in taxidermy or other jobs were consistent color coverage is needed.

With a single you push the button and the paint comes out. Kinda of like a rattle can.


Dual Acttion you push for air and toggle front to back to control the amount of paint that is being dispensed.

Trickier to get the hang of but is really the best tool for intricate detail, feathering type of work.

If your compressor is one of the small ones without a holding tank then hose absolutely needs to have a moisture trap. The air that comes from the small tankless is warm and cools/condenses along the length of hose. Eventually enough water builds up that it comes out of the airbrush in one big giant splat right on your work which sucks.

I am looking to relocate to FL. Was cleaning a closet and came across one of my old airbrushes. It's a Badger dual. Needs a little cleaning but like a gun you need to clean them regularly anyway.

If you want it PM me your address and I'll ship it off to you.
You'll need to pick up some paint cups for it since I have no idea where those went.

Just hope I did not take to the storage unit.
