Thread: Grex ...the airbrush

    Grex ...the airbrush

    This is in off topic because it is.

    I love my grex 23 g pinner.

    So when I was at the Mid Atlantic expo, checking out the grex booth,

    I saw the new xt airbrush and had to have it.

    Per you may be thinking what kinda a wood are you airbrushing?

    This should be good hunh?

    Nope, I have a lot of hobbys. One of them is R/C

    that would be cars ,trucks, boats ,airplanes and helicopters.

    So I own a few tools for that.

    But this new grex just exceeded my expectations.

    The shots below are a practice body.

    I will be starting the the real one in two weeks.

    ( I have to go on a two week sleep over install)

    And yeah I gota be nuts..cause that little truck runs about as much as a Sawstop.

    Well with women like that hanging on your truck, no wonder it costs so much.

    A trigger grip airbrush huh? Interesting.

    Thanks Brett,

    Yeah the trigger grip is what sold me.

    The control compared to my other units, well there is

    no comparison. Granted, I don't work with it on a daily

    basis and I need a lot of practice, but still.

    Here is the other side.

    That is pretty awesome Per. Don't tell me the girls are airbrushed too! Just decals?

    Tim,

    These bodies are painted on the inside.

    They aren't decals.

    They are magazine adds.

    airbrushed and faded to look like they blend in.
    It is cut and paste done to a different level.

    Don't let my son see this. He keeps wanting me to put a batman insignia(?) on the doors of my truck.

    Nice work, Per.
    Where did I put that tape measure...

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...
