The Airbrush that I use and sell is the Grex Genesis-XS, sidecup brush with a .3 mm nozzle. It is a great all around brush and comparable to the Iwata HP-CH. I sell the XS for $149, the addition of the G-MAC (micro air control valve) for $30 makes it the same quality and better value than the HP-CH at $210. If you have more than one brush (I like to use two-one for dark paint and one for light paint) then the G-MAC is interchangeable, making the XS an even better value. I also own an HP-CH and can honestly say that the XS is comparable.

The AOW colorkit:

More important than the brush is the paint. There are many brushes on the market that will get the job done but only one paint brand that is designed for wood, E’tac. I sell a complete color line. The alternatives on the market (Golden, Media, Createx and others) were designed for Illustrators. They are good paints but not for wood. E’tac has the highest color fast rating and best resiliency of all available products. It’s been around for more than 30 years so it’s proven. The paint comes in one ounce bottles for $4.98 each.

Color Kit: 12 colors (1-Oz bottles) full mix potential, plus Extend-Air, Condition-Air 8×10 Color Wheel, 10mixing cups/caps, Mixstixs, Bowlbrush, Tipbrush, Eraser, Knife , $120 value             Retail $99.
