hey all, whats up? Today i got a Badger Airbrush from my grandmother. The model no. is 150, and I need some info on it. If ne1 has had/used this airbrush, plz let me know. It's atleast 5-10 yrs. old, and has no manual with it. I searched Google for info, but found none. The Compressor has already become EXTREMELY useful, its 1st day of service in my home. I knew it would be useful for more than just my addicting fume sniff....err...modelling habit. J/K. ne wayz, I need to know how to thin the paints, what paints to use, and how to clean this thing. At least I had my common sense about me and didnt just start sprayin stuff ASAP.
Thx in advance,
Matt

paint to use arcylic based paint such as tamiya.

1 part paint 1 part thinner. then spray

To clean good old h20 with a dab of thinner will do.

then take the airbrush apart and let dry.

simple.

according to IWATA, whose Eclipse CS airbrush I use, it is not necessary to dissasemble the airbrush after each use. Rather, spray with thinner/cleaner, and let dry as is.

most people lose parts and damage the needle with constant dissasembly of the airbrush.
