It wouldn't be a complete disaster for a $30 tool to become useless after a year or two because of lack of propellant, but it would be a bit annoying.Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-11206987353842236702008-10-30T12:33:00.000-07:002008-10-30T12:33:00.000-07:00GW Propellant is $8 for an 8 oz can.

Then again, I've read about people who spend a small fortune on these things and are happy to see a semi disposable set up like this.Gary Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897166491600280320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-12474483653762002492008-10-30T12:24:00.000-07:002008-10-30T12:24:00.000-07:00I'm curious whether or not other propellant can be...I'm curious whether or not other propellant can be used with it. The gun itself isn't that expensive, but if it can only be used with GW propellant, then that's where it's going to get you over the long term.Fulminatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332824290977548527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-44507267399458364402008-10-30T10:05:00.000-07:002008-10-30T10:05:00.000-07:00Sounds very reasonable, then.

A pretty minor price premium, for a huge convenience increase.<BR/><BR/>Can't think why I asked, though, as I have no use for an airbrush that isn't in a graphics editor...Silas Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639832677140104872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-11143335082418974362008-10-29T21:06:00.000-07:002008-10-29T21:06:00.000-07:00The GW paint gun is $30.

I'm sure you could save money by shopping around, but it's not exactly expensive to begin with. <BR/><BR/>Best of all, if you don't know what you're doing with an air gun, this is a great way to be sure you're getting what you need.Gary Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11897166491600280320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7150649422744296369.post-71991327805188467702008-10-29T20:39:00.000-07:002008-10-29T20:39:00.000-07:00I have to wonder how much of a premium it carries ...I have to wonder how much of a premium it carries over a generic airbrush, and if it's any better than a generic airbrush... but the results look great!Silas Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639832677140104872noreply@blogger.com
