Grex Tritium.TG or GSI Creos Mr. Airbrush Procon Boy PS-290

[crowe-t]

I'm looking at these 2 airbrushes: Grex Tritium.TG or GSI Creos Mr. Airbrush Procon Boy PS-290 .  They both seem similar and both have a fan spray cap option.  I'm thinking one or both of these would be good for spraying bodies with clear.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or opinions on these.

Mike, I have the Grex TG3 and the fan spray cap and love it. This is a high quality product and no  doubt you would be happy with it.

I was going to get the TG5 with the .5mm needle.  Would that be overkill for spraying clear lacquer?

I currently have a Iwata Eclipse and use a .5mm needle when spraying clear lacquer.

I have the Procon PS275 (I think tho not absolutely sure the same as the 290 but with .3mm needle).   I probably should have gone with the 290 for the.5 needle but it works well enough. I especially like the trigger action brush.

Mike I purchased my Grex airbrush when it first came out and they recommended the size 3 to me. I use it for all my painting using both the standard and fan cap. I would imagine that either size could be made to work and you could also contact them to get their input.

Good luck
