Master Airbrush Cool Runner II Dual Fan Airbrush System with 3 Airbrushes & Acrylic Paints Kit - Professional Airbrush Set for Artists, Hobbyists, T-Shirt Printing, Cake Decorating & Model Painting

This airbrush set sold by TCP Global Corp was a fantastic purchase for artists just starting out. It came with a large variety of air guns, paints, and manuals. The manuals contained information on how to maintain the kit, tips for paint mixing, and how each gun and compressor operates. I, a person who has no prior experience in air brush painting, was able to pick up this kit and create custom T-shirts for my family just in time for Christmas. While the guns and paints are of high quality, I found that the kit was lacking a few helpful items and the compressor had a few issues. The kit came with three different guns with all the appropriate needles and paint bottles but I think a spray pot would have been a much needed addition for this beginner set. A spray pot or cleaning pot is a tiny plastic pot that you can mount your gun on while you send cleaner through the compressor. These pots are extremely helpful since the only way to clean the inside of the airbrush is to constantly spay cleaner until no paint residue left. So if you want to prevent your colors from mixing or need to clean your airbrushes effectively these pots are a must have. I didn’t know about these until I needed to clean my airbrush for the first time and had to result to using a plastic bottle with a rag over it so that the fumes wouldn’t escape. TCP Global Corp sells these pots individually, but I think they would go great in this kit since there isn’t a given method for beginners to properly clean the guns. Pots range from $12 to $35 dollars and I highly recommend you buy one along with this set. The compressor included in the kit is a Master Airbrush Air Compressor Model TC-20. This model is actually a very reliable compressor for being included in a kit at a price of $112. Most compressors of the same capabilities start at $120 which makes this kit an even better purchase. However, I and a few other buyers had trouble with the compressors and had to seek help from customer service. After a few uses the compressor wouldn’t hold in air and it had to constantly run in order for me to paint properly. For those of you who don’t know, the compressor is suppose to take in air while you brush so that the PSI is constant no matter how long you let the air flow. Mine was unable to keep the PSI up, I assume it sprung an internal leak, so even when I wasn’t painting the PSI would drop, start up, go back up to the desired PSI, slowly lose it again, and repeat this process to the point to where the compressor constantly ran while I tried to paint. The experience made my work harder, I was still able to finish but I was highly dissatisfied since the guns, paints, and accessories are worthless without a compressor. I am not dissatisfied with the technical service or TCP Global Corp because the kit included a two- year warranty on the compressor and the situation was resolved quickly and painlessly. I just called their customer service department, explained my issue, gave them my order number and now they are shipping me a replacement compressor. This made up for the compressor entirely and am now excited to continue painting. I did read how other buyers who had this same issue never got a response or were given another faulty compressor, but after talking to a representative I am assured I will receive the compressor without issue. Overall this kit is a great way for people to get involved with airbrush style painting. It includes everything you need to start painting and has plenty of instructions and guides that make for a fast learning process. Customer service was a big plus too and I will update this review once I receive my new compressor. If you have any interest in getting started the kits offered by TCP Global Corp are good quality,very affordable, and I recommend them!
