So here are the new tools that i am using for painting the Strike Freedom. Its a Badger 180-11 air compressor with auto shut off that i got brand new from Ebay for $80.00, not a bad deal since the hobby shop has the same exact one for 234.99!!! For painting i use Badger 175 Crescendo dual action internal mix airbrush. It lets you control the flow of paint as well as air. The airbrush was $65.00 brand new from Ebay as well, also a deal since the hobby shop around here has it for 124.99!!!!! HAHA what do they expect to sell.
