So whats a nice airbrush that wont get clogged allot and wont cost me all my limbs? I'm getting so darn sick of this aztec getting clogged literally every 10 seconds (even with near water consistency paint) that I just flat out smashed it to pieces with the bottom of my foot. So its time for a new brush. Can anyone help me out?

Iwata Ecplise

I've tried the rest and gone with the best.

Ok, that was a bit egotistical but I'm much happier with my Iwata than I have been with any of my other brushes. Buy one here.

I own 2 Iwatas - very good brushes.

My old Badger Crescendo was nice and I hear SOTARS are excellent.

agreed, I find the eclipse so much more versitile and smooth, I do notice a little bit of "sticking" in the trigger if I dont clean it well enough between colors though, other than that I am very happy.

I suggest a Paasche VL.

Cheers,

I recently upgraded from a Badger 350 to an Iwata Revolution. Definitely check out Iwata!

I've never had a problem with my Aztec A7778 Airbrush. Perfect results every time.

I've gotten good results with my Paasche VL. I keep hearing the name Iwata a lot though.

I have been considering buying an air brush,

my local Hobbytown sells nothing BUT aztec

The dealer claims that "it's all he uses" with no problems PLUS, parts are readily available ( is that a good thing ?) I want something affordable and not frustrating to use or a major hassel to clean. The dealer claimes clean up is a snap

Among the Eclipse series, I don't see any difference other than the feed style. Is that the only difference? Also, which one do you use, Robb?

thanks!

To my knowledge, that's the only difference. I use the bottle feed one as I'm a lazy bastard and shoot straight from the Tamiya bottle.

The side bottle and gravity feed come with the .35mm needle/nozzle combo. The siphon feed comes with the .5mm needle/nozzle. But you can change them out...it just depends on what you want to start with.

Thanks Commies!

Personally, I went with the side bottle--that way I can spray in any orientation, and it's both a gravity and a siphon feed.
