Hi all! I'm new to KB.

Recently "finished" a course on automative refinishing, so wanting to have a home art studio.
Art background is mainly sketching and watercolour so no exp in airbrushing and wanting to learn and play with on lil projects (e.g. fenders, fuel tanks, etc.)

Just wondering what essential equipment i need to start off with (maybe from prep work to finish), and maybe comparison of brands.

Thanks Heaps :2thumbsup

Go down to a wreckers and get a few car doors or bonets to practise on, my artistic ability starts and stops at stick figures.
A panel beaters supply shop should be able to help you.

if you go to a panelbeater shop.. they chuck the smashed bits out ..can usually pick a bonnet or a door up just to get it out of thier shop
