I use a Paasche vls, and an Aztek 3000s. I think "Paasche" means "pain in the ass to clean" in some other language. i've had a couple of baaad experiences with the paint drying inside the body of the brush, and having to pull the needle out with pliers. . . but other than that, it is a very nice tool to work with.

The Aztek is nice, and a lot easier to clean, but i just don't get the same control and precision that i do with my Pain in the ass. It is nice and light, being made out of mostly plastic, but i kinda like the weight of the chrome plated nickel body of the other one in my hand. I do like the fact that each spray nozzle has a needle built right into it, and each different nozzle has a different spray pattern for different effects. I can get the same effects with my other airbrush, but this is just a little handier when i'm trying to rush (and i'm always trying to rush. . . why do i always leave everything until the last minute? DUH!!!!)

I've been using Createx paints, and have had pretty good luck with them so far. I use the transparent matte colours, rather than the opaques, even when airbrushing on dark t shirts. I lay down a base of opaque white first, then layer the other colours on that. I think it gives a nicer effect than spraying opaque colours directly onto the dark fabric.
