They had a display at KWS Extravaganza, great looking setsHave looked a Grex? I have gotten my hands on one as of yet, but my understanding is they a good product and worth the investment.
I use these to paint saltwater hard fishing lures.... Nothing fancy but a solid unit and a good place to start for $25.

Look at the Paasche VL line. You can't find a better quality all around airbrush for that price range. I use them for everything. Createx airbrush paint is also great. I do some t-shirt work with a VL and Createx fabric paint (see pics. BTW, your musical tastes may vary).My wife wants to try a air brush for painting our wood toys etc. with acrylic paint. I want to get her a kit for Christmas? Any suggestions that will not break the bank? Maybe around $100-$200 range?
Consider a prevail touch up sprayer. It costs a fraction of the cost of an air brush and should do a good job on toys. I use it for furniture touch-up so I don't have to crank up my hvlp sprayer.My wife wants to try a air brush for painting our wood toys etc. with acrylic paint. I want to get her a kit for Christmas?

It really depends on the viscosity of the paint, the needle/tip size and the surface you're applying it to. I generally spray around 20 to 25 psi but test first. It may take a bit more for some paints but I would try no to go over 35 psi.David,
I have a dual-action Paasche, but not sure about the input air. Do you know what I should set that to??
Thanks, I think I was running MUCH lower than that - I thought I had it set around 20 or 25 PSI - but now that I know, I can play around with it...It really depends on the viscosity of the paint, the needle/tip size and the surface you're applying it to.
