I am not an artist or an airbrusher but this is a good product

I do not know what this products intended use is but I bought it for one specific purpose, etching glass. For this it works great. It sprays a nice even pattern that produces excellent results on glass. This little gun will not etch large panels effectively because it sprays a very small pattern but if you are doing small detail work it's perfect. It comes with everything you need to get started if you have an airbrushing compressor. If you are using a normal home shop air compressor you will need a 1/4" quick coupler, which will screw right onto the end of this hose. The mask that is sent is useless, probably the cheapest mask I have ever seen and I wouldn’t trust my lungs to it, so you might want to pick up a box of better dust masks somewhere. It also comes with a small amount of blasting media that worked great. However, if you purchase more from this company it is EXPENSIVE. Any fine or extra fine blasting media will work, course media will not work in this unit, but I have had good luck using 100 grit or finer. I did not buy this set for the mask or expensive media, I bought it for the gun, and because the gun is great it gets five stars.

Love using the AEC-K

Love using the AEC-K. Simple to use and love the etching without the purchase of a 30+ gallon compressor

Excellent product BUT even better customer service

Product wasn't working correctly after a few uses but a call to Paasche customer service had me speaking with an amazing customer service rep who walked me through taking it apart, cleaning it out and reassembling. Has worked perfectly since then and I do abuse it somewhat. Should I have any other problems, I now know how to clean it and I also know there is great customer service if I need it

Works great! We use this to etch glass blocks and it works great.

Best Etching Tool ever!

The Paasche AEC-K Abrasive sprayer etched my glass cups beautifully. I would highly recommend this to any one interested in glass etching. I used my own compressor so I did not have to buy one.

I use this for glass etching - and it's perfect! The hopper is a little small and needs to be refilled pretty often, but I use the clear condiment bottles to do that! I've never had a problem with it clogging - and it has a perfect fine spray!

Bought but haven't used yet.

Haven't used this yet but I am confident that for the very small jobs it will work well.

Perfect

Perfect! I use this to sandblast glass and metal! I haven't had any issues and have been using this since January 2016.
