New To The Hobby..

Well, I'm thinking when I get some extra cash, I'd like to buy an airbrush, I cannot draw worth crap! but I guess thats why there are stencils out there haha. I'm just wondering though, whats the difference between single action and double action? what would be better to use ? also, any recommendations on what type of brush to get? I'll just be using it to paint random odd things, mailbox's, scrap metal, etc

someone mentioned to get a Iwata Eclipse, just wondering if that would be decent enough? thanks

Hi and welcome
Here's some small info about different types of airbrushes

Single Action: A simple type of airbrush design in which the trigger releases the air and paint spray, but does not allow any variance in flow.

Double Action: A trigger design enabling the user to control the proportion of paint to air, allowing the highest degree of control over spray volume and density.

Gravity Feed: A type of airbrush in which the paint is held in a cup or reservoir attached either to the top or side, and fed by the pull of gravity. More suitable for detail work than a siphon feed model, but only holds small amounts of paint


bottom feed—a siphon-feed system where paint is drawn up from a reservoir (jar or color cup) mounted underneath the airbrush
