Review on 🎨 Paasche Airbrush VL Double Action Siphon Feed Airbrush & Compressor Bundle by Shantel Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A few minor issues but overall worth it

Paasche 500D Compressor: The piston model I received works well. I appreciate the built in regulator and built in auto on/off. It's also fairly quiet, or at least not annoyingly loud. My compressor ran for about 20 minutes before it stopped producing pressure. After allegedly overheating for several hours, I disassembled the device and found that the motor had mechanically detached from the compressor piston. Luckily it just had to be screwed back on. The pressure returned and I haven't had any problems since. While troubleshooting, I found that Paasche appears to have used "500D" to describe several different types of compressors; Some of them are diaphragm compressors so due to their diversity it was difficult to be sure I got the right one. Paashe VL Airbrush: This is my first airbrush but so far I've been impressed. The kit will get you started, but I'd recommend the extra paint cans and cleaning station as you'll want to have them on hand almost immediately. I would also suggest swapping out the red handle; The included nylon handle is very soft and makes it very easy to break threads when attaching/detaching the handle during cleaning. Fortunately, Paasche offers aluminum VL grips.
