Anyone tried the Grex Airbrushes yet?

I have an iwata but i'm looking to buy something a little bigger to paint some of my larger scale models. I've been looking at the Tritium.TS.

The Grex brushes are good. The pistol grip are very comfortable to use. They're on par with Iwata, from what I gather.

I bought a Grex (previously owned a Badger, no experience with Iwatas or Paasche). It works very well; I can lay down a nice thin line or cover a large area. The pistol-grip seems very natural to me, more like a full-size spray gun. You control the amount of paint going through (the size of the sprayed spot) by adjusting a stop screw which limits trigger movement.

I bought the side-cup one; if I were to do it again I think I'd get the top-cup version, just to make cleaning it a bit easier.

So far I'm very happy with it. After the Badger, it feels like a ballet slipper compared to an army boot.

I was able to try one at Wonderfest, where Grex had a booth. You might look around and see if you can do the same.

I have one of the Grex airbrushes; side-feed, pistol grip and trigger. I like it a lot. It works equally well shooting large areas, and you can do fine work with it as well. While it's not a true double action -- more like a one-and-a-half-action -- it has enough control for me. I still use my Sotar for very fine work, but I'm using the Grex more and more every project.

I have a Grex as well. I tried the Iwata and it was good but I have trouble with the double action and pressing with my finger. The pistol grip on the Grex feels more natural. I have the side feed one as well. I like it becuase I can switch the side the paint cup is on which is handy for me as a leftie. Also, you can get bigger cups to hold more paint and I think there are adaptors that let you use other style cups as well such as the Badger glass style that are suction feeds instead of gravity.

Overall I like it, I just need to practice with it more.

I tested one a few years back at a local show and it worked fine. Comfortable grip, shot very clean lines. I know they say their triple action but their really double. I'd sat they work as well as an Iwata.
