Hey guys looking for a recommendation on a airbrush to use with powder painting some spinnerbaits. Not looking to spend a ton of money. Thanks!

Most will suggest you use the tap the brush method.

Mike I’ve tried that but seem to get a really heavy layer of powder. Any tips?

Try different brush's that hold less paint. Hold bait farther away from brush. Small flour sifter? Tea infuser?

Salt/pepper shaker? I have used old prescription bottles with small holes drilled in the cap for glitter... I bet this would also work and cheap.

I use a Badger model 260 hobby sandblaster to spray powder, I believe the thing sold as a "powder paint airbrush" is the same thing.

Do a search for a guy who goes by the name Cadman. He is a master with the brush tap method.
