Below, you’ll find a list of recommended airbrushes, compressors, and accessories to help you get started with confidence. I’ve personally tested or owned the airbrushes marked with a star ⭐, so you can trust they’re tried and true. Just because I haven’t personally used the others doesn’t mean they’re not great options—they’ve all been selected for their quality and reliability. Whether you’re just beginning or looking to upgrade, these tools will set you on the right path!
Airbrushes
In this section, you’ll find airbrushes categorized by type to help you easily find what fits your needs. We’ve broken it down into Single Action and Double Action airbrushes, which refer to how the air and paint are controlled, and Gravity Feed and Siphon Feed airbrushes, which describe how the paint is fed into the airbrush. Each type has its strengths, so explore these options to find the best one for your projects.
