What kind, Where you got it, And what do i need to get started painting my own lures??

Any compressor will work, unless you want to fool with filtration look for a oil-free comp., I use Iwata brushes however just starting out I would recommend getting something cheaper as alot of people bail out after giving it a try....

Dixieart.com is a good source for everything.

This question is asked alot and I'm not trying to turn anyone away from painting I love this hobby and am happy to help anyone BUT if your not a person with ALOT of patience and some basic problem solving skills I wouldnt even fool with it as it at times can be very frustrating

Alot of information can be found on this board by using the search

I run a 3gallon craftsman compressor I bought on sale for the low low and an iwata eclipse....not on the low low!

I use a 33 gal oil free compressor, don't remember what brand but it's been working hard for many years. It's bit enough that it doesn't constantly run, plus we can run lots of other things with it. Also use a 200 gal giant red monster in the main shop, but that's way overkill for most people!

I'm stuck on my old Paasche model H's. I also use a VL dual action but I hate it. I think I must be missing some adjustment, plus after years I've grown very used to my H's. They have major limitations, but I've learned to just work around it. Because I'm having such a problem learning the dual action (and I do a LOT of painting), I would recommend starting with one right off the bat. Especially if you're artistic to begin with and maybe already make a few of your own baits.

I know this is an old thread Guntersvillefisher (and maybe a bit off topic), but thought I would conjure it back up.

I actually started painting my own cranks with spray paint. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it, so I started with stuff I had in the garage. With a little practice and tricks; you can get some pretty nice results. I've been at it for a few months and think I'm ready to step up to an airbrush myself.

Follow this link to tackleunderground.com (and also search there "spray paint" or "rattle can"), rlcan and some other guys do some great work with rattle cans.

The only other thing you'll need is a turner (I use a BBQ rotisserie) and some 2 part epoxy to clear it (Devcon 2-Ton epoxy from Ace Hardware).

It's a cheap way to get the feel of it, and see if you're interested in going further, before spending more money.
