what airbrush
 
Hi guys i have had a few cheap one and they are ok but dont last long. What is a good priced one what is goign to last longer ?

gingapaint 27-10-2011 12:54 PM

Personally I'm using an iwata eclipse, which I love. Previoualy had the cheaper revolution, which was an awesome brush for the money!

+1 on the iwata cs for me though

gingapaint 27-10-2011 01:24 PM

Aye, think it's an HP-CS eclipse off top of my head. Hard to go wrong with them :D

bigred5765 27-10-2011 01:29 PM

one of these

Another +1 for the Iwata eclipse, however its a touch on the expensive side and you dont really need anything quite as good as this, if I were you I'd go for the Iwata revolution (gravity fed version) and it will produce super results.

:thumbsup:

The revolution is cracking, used one up to fairly recently. Just be carefull with the nozzle, I managed to break the threaded part off inside the body and it was more sense, economically to replace the brush.

Intresting no one has said aztek ?
Starting to look over the next few days for good deals on iwata me think

I have the aztek airbrush and it's really not very nice to use, best thing about it is the wooden box it comes in, I'm looking at a new brush also and I keep coming back to the iwata eclipse.

This is the Aztek kit I've got http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/prod...set-with-case/ total waste of money if I'm honest.

I've got the original Aztek in the little space age grey case, it's an alright airbrush, give me a shout if you're looking to buy one of them.

I use an Iwata HP-B, had it about 22 years, replaced the air valve once and the nozzle a couple of times but can't fault it. If you can afford one I'd go for an Iwata, they're all good. You do get what you pay for though !

I use Iwata HP-CR as it comes with a 0.5mm tip.

Mike Parker 28-10-2011 08:17 PM

+1 on Iwatas, always used Badger Cresendos in the past but swapped over to a Kustom CS and really impressed with it :thumbsup:

How often will you be spraying?

grimidol 29-10-2011 04:07 AM

Just mine and my sons shells ever couple of months

gingapaint 29-10-2011 08:57 AM

If it for limited, personal use then the iwata revolution will be just perfect. I've seen them for under £80 and capable of anything you could throw at them.
It does sound like we're battering on about them, but they're cracking!
I've read very mixed things about the budget NEO range though.

westers 29-10-2011 10:24 AM

Ebay is your friend http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AIRBRUSH-d...item43a936d82d

£23 - range of nozzle and needle sizes, hoses.

I bought one - it works great, and as I'm only likely to spray one, maybe two, shells a year then it's perfect for me.

grimidol 30-10-2011 11:52 AM

What sbout one of these ?

I personally think it sounds pretty good to me, decent price and being a iwata you can pretty much guarentee it will be quality. :thumbsup:

gingapaint 30-10-2011 05:03 PM

I was looking into the NEO range a while ago, as a cheap back up brush, but I read nothing positive. They're apparently just badged iwata, rather than designed and built by iwata.
For £20 extra, I'd buy a revolution every time.
If you do go that way, I'd be interested in hearing how it goes.

I'm very disappointed, it did sound really good for the price, Iwata rebadging someone elses stuff is just not right (if true I should add) :thumbdown:.

Like gingapaint says it maybe worth spending a extra £20 but I wouldn't mind hearing how it goes if you do get one of these.
