Best airbrush kit

[WavecloudCustoms]

So guys - I finally decided on an Iwata Eclips with 0.35 nossle.

Really nice feel and works like a dream. Incredibly accurate!

So I’ve been researching and the one I’m going for is the Iwata HP-CS. I’ve seen a lot of good reviews but don’t know if a $150 airbrush is at the higher end of air brushes or mediocre.

You keep yours way cleaner than I do mine. Or at least the 2 I've been using on a regular basis now are getting so old that I cant make them shine like that any longer.. almost time for a new one I think..

Been using this stuff Brian... pretty awesome and low VOC @SoulFulFrog

I’m seriously tempted by the Iwata Micron

I use alot of harsh chemicals and I also push cerakote through my airbrush so I'm not sure if that would help my situation but maybe. Acetone and keytone seem to flush it well. At some point I'll pick up a cheap airbrush for the nasty stuff and keep my good ones for regular paints.. thanks for that though

Ha - we can’t even get cerakote over here. Certainly not that I know of.

Have you tried an ultrasonic tank?

That’s my next purchase. A small domestic one for about £40

A guy at a hobby store told me of a trick. He said to use KY jelly or any sex gel, to lube the inside of your equipment after cleaning.

Your airbrush should come with a small bottle of silicone grease.

I wouldn’t put any grease through the business end though.
