I was playing around with color schemes/layouts and settled on this:

Nice, I upgraded awhile ago myself and now I wonder how I ever lived without it! An aibrush is definitely a lot cleaner than spray cans.

Do you have an idea on which one you want?

With what's easily available and cost effective, I was thinking the Badger 105 Patriot. I have a cheapo siphon fed brush, but it's seen better days. It's a hassle to clean between colors and it doesn't give you much control over the width or air pressure. On the plus side, I had saved several of my older kits that are broken for whatever reason. Plenty of plastic to practice pneumatic painting proficiencies upon.

I opted for the dark hound to represent the age 2 on my shelf, like you, I need to pick up the age 3 and fx. I actually adore the design of the 3 and its wears. I"m tempted to purchase the three.

Sorry to hear that, that rather sucks. Luckily, it's available separately so you don't havev to purchase an entire kit to replace the backpack.

I would suggest getting a compressor for it if I can. The cheapest I've found is the one that I'm using right now:

I stopped by the store and picked up the Badger 105 after I left work on Thursday. I'm covered on the compressor end of things, I own a 2 gallon compressor a while back. It usually ends up being used for maintenance and random tire inflations, but it has enough control in the regulator to limit the PSI's to Badger's specs. Honestly, if it weren't for the noise levels, I would be in the garage right now practicing (it's about midnight now and the mrs is sleeping). I would, however, like one that's quieter and has less of a physical footprint.

I did dig up my broken/bits box.



I'll have to make time to get used to the new brush.

[Kiryu]

I'm slowly starting to get the hang of the brush myself, it's very easy to just pick up and use.

Once you start using it though, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

The one that I got is still kinda loud, but not loud enough that I can't have music or a video playing in the background while I'm working.

The dead quiet high efficiency ones tend to cost an arm and a leg.
