Re: Can paint properly again!
I bought an Iwata a number of years ago for doing bodies. Unfortunately, I've still never even had it out of the box.

Re: Can paint properly again!
I meant to add that I too bought the Eclipse too. Did a fair amount of research on which brush performed the best and the Iwata was always the top of the heap.bngiles wrote:That is the exact airbrush I use.
Does an awesome job.

Re: Can paint properly again!
It's been a long time since I bought an airbrush so I did a lot of research before I purchased one. The thing that always popped up on top of the heap was the iwata's. It's got a real good feel to it and the balance is nice plus the body seems to be made out of SS, I'm not sure though. I really like the warranty, 5 years! You don't find many things anymore that come with more than a 1 year warranty.

You mean these guys never dominated???Halgar wrote:....Iwata was always the top of the heap.
I use to use one of these and it actually worked
I have been using a Badger 150 for years. How does the Iwata compare? I could never afford one.
He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

Re: Can paint properly again!
I have one of those, got it last year at walmart.
It does a good job at shooting the parma fascolor paints. I've only used it to do solid colors, no fancy stuff.
It should work out to be cheaper than the pactra rattle cans and without the bad odor. It comes with a compressor adaptor so you don;t have to buy te $$ canned air. I have it hooked up to the 21gal compressor in the garage, slightly overkill, but I was able to paint the 5-b with several coats without the compressor kicking on once.

Re: Can paint properly again!
I bet they make more money on those cans of air than anything else they sell. I painted several models with different types of paint and it did a good job for me. I think I still have one in the top of my dads garage. I did the same thing you did though. I hooked it up to the air compressor.aconsola wrote:....you don;t have to buy te $$ canned air.....

Re: Can paint properly again!
Being the first time in a long time using an airbrush, it being one I've never used before, and starting this one way too late last night I think it turned out decent. I've just about got this Iwata figured with air pressure and needle settings so the next one will be better....much better .
