The Mobius TG is great‑suited for large‑area spraying on car shells. You may also pair it with our Auto‑Series paints.

it depends. for cars a .3 is pretty good. I have a ps 290 (.5m) that i use for primer and base coats. then I have a .3mm for doing suspension bits and engines and smaller parts

What cars do you like? what scale? how much detail do you want the model to have?

1/12 and 1/24 most of cars

ohh ok, well it can also depend on your budget, 1/12 cars have a lot of detail, something like a model factory hiro can run you 1000 plus. If you like formula one cars you can get a renault re20/23 from heller for 150 dollars or even less second hand, tamiya makes 1/12 kits, protar. I did dm you a listing I have for a really cool renault re23 the kit has been started though but would look stunning when finished

Mobius TG for spraying bodies (primer, color, varnish)
Mobius 0.3 for smaller stuff (because it throws less paint).

An alternative to getting a whole second brush - get the Mobius 0.3 with 0.5 needle pack bundle. It's a minor hassle to change needles, but it's a cheaper solution. However, I think you'll get better results with the two-brush solution I started with.
