Pupu,
I've been airbrushing since 1986, I started out with a bottom fed, dual action Paasche VL 3, which was ok for illustration use. But, when I wanted to take up T-shirt painting, I switched over to a Thayer & Chandler Vega 2000 with a fine tip. Though, I rarely paint shirts anymore, I still use this bottom fed, dual action "gun" for helmets and auto parts. I don't think it's made anymore. I think I read somewhere that T&C when out of business, which is too bad really. It was an inexpensive gun that was well made and affordable, and best of all, it took a beating.
I also have a Iwata HP-C gravity fed, dual action "gun" with a #1 tip (extra fine), and a Iwata HP Eclipse bottom feed, dual action "gun", also with a #1 tip (extra fine).
I get my supplies from Jerry's Art-a-rama in West Hartford,CT. I spray with Createx Textile & Auto Air paints. I've literally tried the rest, but now I use the best.
