I've had my single action Badger 200 for 35yrs, never had any problem until last year. It was starting to spit, my tip was split. I read that Badger has a lifetime warranty, so I sent it to them. Came back completely rebuilt, new tip, new needle....no charge. I'm now ready for another 35yrs. I also have a couple of Paasches, I would stick with name brand airbrushes.
