I have the follow airbrushing kit but it puts down a very narrow paint stream.

What do you recommend for a decent airbrush... on a budget ;-)

its double action you need to pull back and push down to control paint and air.

Better quality. Single action (better for starters depending on what you're painting.) Siphon feed or gravity. Really easy to clean and keep clean. Affordable. What I use on most projects. Wish I bought it over the Master stuff in the beginning. The Master little compressor works fine but the airbrush was shat.

Spend a little more and get some good stuff. so it'll be fun instead of a drag when your airbrush or compressor is the problem.

Are there any adjustments on the brush? A lot of multi-purpose airbrushes don't have any adjustments.
Not sure what your experience level is, but if you're not used to a dual-action brush, then you should try practicing
with it to get a feel for how it sprays. Lighter trigger pressure will give you a finer spray pattern, and if you
mash the trigger down and pull it all the way back to open it up fully, it should give you a wider pattern.
Holding the airbrush further from the surface will also give you a wider spray pattern.

i actually had this airbrush/compressor set. F4R is correct, just pull back on the trigger as you push down. I didnt really have any issues with mine, i just upgraded cuz an opportunity presented itself. I actually still have the airbrush, but dont use it right now(keeping it for back up) . The compressor is fine, im still using that with my new airbrush.

I am currently using the "Talon" by Paasche and am very happy with it...

I checked out your original link to your airbrush. Surprised they don't give any specs on the brush. The width of the spray is determined by the size of the needle and the tip. You. Can vary this a bit by repositioning the needle in and out. There is a clamp nut under the back end of he the airBrush. Loosen the nut and pull the needle out a bit while applying air. You will quickly learn what the range of the brush is. If it's out too much it will start splattering. Play with it till you get what you want. If it's still too fine you will need to get a deferent tip and needle. Or a larger brush.

I use an Iwata Ch Hi Line with a 0, 3mm needle for most medium sized jobs. Best airbrush I've ever owned. For bigger projects I use a spray gun with bigger needles and tip.
