Master Airbrush Cool Runner II Airbrush Kit with 3 Airbrushes Acrylic Paint

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!

The Cool Runner II compressor is the star of the show here; it stays cool and quiet even after an hour of continuous use. Having three different airbrushes (gravity feed and siphon feed) gives you the flexibility to switch between fine detail work and broad "base coating" without stopping to deep-clean every ten minutes. The airflow is consistent, and the included moisture trap is a vital feature for preventing "spatter." It’s an incredible value for anyone looking to move beyond rattle cans and into professional-grade finishing.

Great for beginners easy to use comes with instructions that are easy to understand. Its has great airflow and it's fits comfortable in my hand. Very quite for a compressor.

This was my first airbrushing kit. I wasn’t sure what I wanted or what to look for, and I am really glad that this set was my first. I would recommend this kit to anyone just starting out. Here’s why I think it is a good first step: -It contains three different styles of airbrushes, which allowed me to try them all and decide on a favorite for myself -It has literally everything you need to get started. If you like doing it, you’ll probably want to upgrade your paint really soon, but good paint is pricey and not what I wanted to use to experiment. It comes with cleaner and reducer too, which are really important. -The compressor is easy to use, small, light, and quiet. I was nervous about the noise level of a compressor. I had heard small compressors on job sites before, and wasn’t sure I wouldn’t be bothering my housemates. This is a lot smaller than those and I’m not bothering anyone. I’d compare the noise level to that of a typical vacuum cleaner. -It comes with a ton of little things you’d probably not think to get on your own. Here’s a sub-category for you, folks: -Those pipe cleaners are the perfect stiffness for tough cleaning without damaging. I often use them to clean my substrates too! -Hooks and hangers for your airbrushes, because it turns out you can’t just put an airbrush down on the table really quick without trouble. -The color wheel isn’t something I use, but can be really really handy for novice color-mixers. Here are the things that weren’t super awesome about this kit: -The “How to Airbrush” book is really more of a brochure with very little information. It contains a couple drills to get you past your first couple of sprays, then a how-to on cleaning your airbrushes. This was the only thing that wasn’t at all what I expected. If you really want a book to teach you how to airbrush, you may want a different one. -The overall quality of the product is not great. For anyone with other airbrushing equipment, every single piece of this kit would probably be a downgrade. I bought it knowing I would likely have to slowly upgrade each piece if I became more serious. It’s absolutely worth the price I paid, if not more, but not close to professional quality. -The two simpler airbrushes come with individual instruction/parts/cleaning manuals, but the one with the most parts didn’t. I couldn’t even find one online. After my first time with the nicer syphon airbrush, I cleaned it and it stopped working. I couldn’t tell if I was missing a part or washer or if I was putting the airbrush back together correctly, as I was very new. Several hours of message board surfing eventually led to an answer about another brand that I found applied to me as well. That was the most (but also the only) frustrating thing about this kit. Overall, I am very pleased with what I paid and how slowly I will need to upgrade this equipment. It’s not bad at all, and I expected I’d want new better stuff a lot sooner for the price. It all works really well, and I’m a happy customer.

Extremely happy, get setup and very nice kit, 3 airbushes, paint kit and compressor and hoses an d stand for the 3 air brushes

Pump works very quiet and good pressure.

Have not got to to use it yet but first impressions are amazing here. Everything came well packaged. Guns each have their own case and feel and look of good grade! I'm super happy with the kit. As a beginner this has EVERYTHING you need to get up and start laying some paid down. I paid 130 bucks on a "limited deal" buy here on Amazon. Huge win in my book! Compressor is a decent size and fits in corner of my work bench. It's smooth and VERY quiet. I have no issue running it and listening to music down low on my little work bench PC. Killer deal, awesome quality. You wanna start airbrushing...here the door you need to open. Upgrades guns I'm sure can work...but these 3 guns in kit cover all the gun types from gravity feed to out of a mixed glass canister.

Wonderful air brush kit. It's quiet, has auto shut off and comes with so many extras. This is a wonderful addition to any hobbiest or painter whether experienced or not. After a few weeks of using this and many different paint types it seems to handle them all quite well from air brush paint to acryllic paints. My only regret is I didn't get it sooner. The only con I have about it is the unit I got has a deep scratch on the body which marred the beautiful blue finish. Very happy otherwise with the unit.
