Re: Re: Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I just found out my friend owns several Paasche VL/VLS. And his art is amazing, he tells me that the Paasche is good and well worth it eventhough he hasn't bought anything other than the Paasche's he has. If i was you i would aim for the Iwata Revolution CR. Very cheap and its an Iwata Im really happy with the way my Iwata performs.
BTW: This is my new screenname

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
Hi Joeham...
Imola EK ??? What the EK stand for ?? I think that Paasche is a good airbrush brand and the fact that they are one of the oldest brand (not the oldest but one of.... the Walkup guys never really have a definitive company name, changing with the ages and depending of the wind...) is there to help them. Their quality is better than average, they have the "know how" and they seem to work well. I never try one but if my friend from the hobbyshop ask my to try one, I'll be happy to do it. |

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
Haaaa, I didn't know that... is it why their motor are named K16 and so on... if so, what have they done with the E in the configuration ??
Or is it more a body and chassis thing (like the F-body or the J-body from GM) ?? Or like the Mk1, 2,3,4 and now 5 in the Volkswagen Golf setup ?? For the thread and for my curiosity... do you spray everything with your Iwata (interior, body and motor)??? |

I did once spray the body of an integra with an airbrush but decided to continue the process with the rattle can since i had drained the paint from it to airbrush it. Interior's i find to be easier to do with airbrush's but i haven't done a motor with my airbrush yet, and that has a reason behind it... I screwed up my airbrush. I used some of that Testors Acrylic "Airbrush Ready" paints and it clogged up my Iwata soo fast! Now my Iwata skips when i pull the trigger to spray. I might take it this weekend to get it checked to see whats wrong. I have been spraying paint thinner through it for 3 days in a row and soo much paint has come out but now it seems like there is no more paint to be taken out and it still skips. My last option would be that the nozzle is cracked which it does not seem like it is. I've decided to stop messing with it and take it to the pro's so they could see it in person. Worst comes to worst I will buy another one.

Re: Re: Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
Great so now my Eclipse isn't working. The thing keeps skipping when i press for paint and the trigger gets like stuck when i press it down for air. So i bought another Eclipse. This time i won't use Those Testors Acrylics anymore!
I might also buy a 360 Universal since they are in sale for 108$ at the store. Also the Badger Anthem is in sale for 74$. But then again i might save more and buy a Custom Micron for the future.

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I was using acrylic before (when I had an Aztek) but since I have my badger, I start to hate this paint. Not work that great and harder to clean (you need lacquer thinner to fully clean the airbrush)
Tamiya Acrylic is easyer than real acrylic.

Re: Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
Hey guys my mother just told me that i could get another airbrush for christmas. Im thinking about a finer airbrush. I just saw in DixieArt.com that they recommend the Badger 100G for fine tip for fine detali, its only 60 bucks...Is that really worth it http://www.dixieart.com/Badger100.html. They also say that the Badger 150 is good for art also http://www.dixieart.com/Badger_Model..._Airbrush.html
Whats up with those? Im also taking a look at the Iwata HP-B but thats more like a far future buy, Maybe next summer

Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
I own a Passche H and an Aztec A320.The Passche works anywhere anytime with any paint type and its heaps easy to clean.The Aztec works only when its in the mood and is a pain in the arse to clean properly.A waste of $80AUD.

If you're planning to buy the Badger 360 Universal... don't waste money on the Anthem since they're very close parents... the only difference being the pivoting front end to convert it from bottom feed to top feed (on the 360... that's what the name is for). It's indeed a real good airbrush and one of my personnal favorite. And sigmaman... welcome to the club man... don't have much to say... Aztec is made by Testor |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Tamiya or Aztek Airbrush's
Crap im trying to buy some hoses and color cups from dixie art but they only show a space for credit card and i don't want to put in credit card numbers i want to pay through pay pal but they don't give me any options. Should i email them? at what address?
EDIT: Just read their FAQ page. Jeez they charge 9.95 for shipping even to small objects that could be mailed for less than 2 dollars! They fucking abuse! No wonder they offer free shipping for over 45 dollars..Maybe i should buy another airbrush so i could get free shipping... just kidding.
