Selecting an Airbrush to Use for Airbrush Shirts

Airbrushes come in several shapes, sizes and styles. Single-action airbrushes may be OK to start with, but for most people who paint Airbrush Shirts, a double-action, internal mix airbrush is the best choice. Double-action airbrushes allow control of both air and paint volume.
Next, you need to decide on the feed system for the airbrush. You can choose between top feed, side feed and bottle feed systems. While bottle feed systems make it tougher to paint fine detail, they should work well for Airbrush Shirts. Additionally, bottle feed systems feature quick cleanup and the ability to hold larger volumes of paint.
Finally, you’ll need to select a tip size. Generally speaking, for Airbrush Shirts, fine detail is not as common as it would be for car hoods or helmets. Instead, most shirt art uses broader strokes. This makes mid-to-large sized paint tips the most common sizes for painting shirts.
When it comes to brands, just be sure to stay away from department store brands, since it can be tough to find replacement parts for them.
