Review on Optimized Master Airbrush Cool Runner II Dual Fan Air Storage Tank Compressor System Kit with G44 Fine Detail Control 0.2mm Tip Airbrush, 24-Color Acrylic Paint Artist Set, Holders, Cleaning Pot, How-To Guide by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The kit is not bad.

Not a bad set in general. However, there are a few issues I have with it. The compressor seems to be struggling or oscillating and has problems every now and then. I still don't fully understand what's going on with him. It will oscillate and the motor will sound very slow. Sometimes it fixes itself. Other times I had to restart it or generally play around with it a bit to get it working again. Another issue I have is the airbrush itself. I've had to take this thing apart 5 times since I got it 5 days ago and completely rebuild it to make it work. At first I thought it was just clogged but that is not the case as I have completely cleaned and reassembled it and still no spatter or I got a lot of spatter on what I was painting. I adjusted the pressure properly and diluted the paint properly. I noticed a slight bend at the tip of the needle. This is very minor, but it can also contribute to the problem. I noticed this the first time I used it, so I know I didn't bend it myself. I was able to smooth it out a bit and that seemed to fix the problem for the most part, except when it just stopped spraying and I had to take it apart and rebuild it. Yet again. I would like to point out that in one of the other reviews I read here the guy talked about not using paint on this gun because it is a .2 gauge needle. The paint is fine for a 0.5 needle, but needs to be diluted for a needle below 0.3. I bought some thinner to complete this order and then found that the paint actually came with its own thinner/thinner when I received the kit. Due to an issue with the air gun, I'm not entirely happy with the set. If I can solve this problem without buying another separate weapon I will increase my rating but for now I have to give it 3 stars.
