NickTheGreek Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 As far as they go, how does this one rank? I'm thinking about investing in one and the 40% off coupon is very enticing. http://www.craftsetc.com/Store/ShowProduct.aspx?p=330266 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 That is a very nice airbrush but ... seems a little overpriced to me. But then I am used to Badgers so this maybe the right price. Especially considering the coupon... Anyway, a double action airbrush takes longer to get used to but.. once you get the hang of it, you will NEVER go back!! Wouldn't hurt to check the hobby shop and local art store to see if they have the same product at a more reasonable price. Couldn't hurt, right?

Stingray69 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I'm a Paashe man myself but I've always heard great things about Iwata's. The gravity feed is a nice feature as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInTheHat Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thats a wonderful airbrush for doing fine detail work. It is a little bit of a pain to clean out. If you're doing trick paint jobs with a lot of fades and stuff a double action airbrush works best once you learn how to use it. If you're just doing general painting. like car bodies and car parts in just about any scale the Paashe single action its easier to use and clean. They are also extreemly durable.

bobss396 Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Also consider how available replacement parts and accessories are for the air brush. I swear by my Badger 350 and can get anything I need for it at local art supply stores. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveInTheHat Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Dick Blick seems to pretty good for parts and accessories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have a Paasche VL, a Badger 150 IL, 3 Badger 175's (my favorite above those others) and now the Iwata HP-CS (also for 40% off) and it was well worth the $90 I spent on it. Wonderful quality, easier to clean than the others, uses every last drop of paint (cleaning feed tubes is messy). The gravity feed is the way to go. I'm extremely happy w/mine.
