How to Make an Airbrush Kit
- 1). Take a look at all the airbrush kits available on the market today, as there are dozens for different types of projects if you are looking for something more specific. For example, kits can be purchased for cake and food decorating, car and motorcycle graphics, fashion purposes, wall/canvas mural painting and body painting.There are many airbrush kits that can be purchased with certain additions that you may not think of and can end up being cheaper than buying all the equipment separately.
- 2). Collect the most essential items first: paints and the airbrush machine materials that include the hoses, spray guns and air compressor. Tattoo stores and art supply Web sites (see Resources) carry these supplies. You can also obtain the following items at a paint superstore: brushes, paints, compressors and instructional DVDs and books.
- 3). Visit an art supplies store for other supplies, such as drafting tape, scratch boards and paper, brushes and knives for detailing, stencils and a compass cutter. There are other items that might be beneficial to keep in the airbrush kit, such as writing utensils like crayons, markers, pencils and pens; a ruler and stickers or graphics.
- 4). Have an airbrush cleaning kit as well to help keep your equipment clean and prolong its life. You can use a large cup to rinse out dirty supplies, along with cleaning solution. These can be purchased at art/craft and tattoo stores.
- 5). Use a large carrying case to carry all your supplies. Create a more professional appearance for your kit by engraving your name on it or having it printed on the case somewhere.
