Airbrush help? single action vs. double action
New to airbrushing. I'm interested in painting car bodies and car parts in general. I bought a Binks Wren airbrush single action over 20 years ago but didnt use it that much. Do I want to stick with a single action brush? Will it serve my purpose or do I want to purchase a double action? Please help

Re: Airbrush help? single action vs. double action
for just painting body's a single action will do fine unless you want to get fancy (flames, stripes, fades.. etc).. I use a single action Badger for bodies and I love it.

Re: Airbrush help? single action vs. double action
Speaking as someone who just yesterday bought his 4th!!!! airbrush and feels that finally, maybe just, he's this time made a good choice
 I would recommend going for a double action. The cost isn't that much greater (especially when you put it in the context of all the other associated costs such as compressor, spray booth, gas mask etc.) The double action will goive you some flexibility of use that you are sure to be grateful for at "critical" moments at some point. Also, don't try and save on your airbrush - you probably won't be happy with it. It's better to wait, save up some cash if neccessary, and then get a really good one for more money (assuming that you will want to be using it for many years) HTH - but you'll ge a million different opinions, anyway
