Thread: finding a better airbrush

Impressive...
I might look into that is evil pay a member or a site?
55... for a super jet I was looking at that compressor but it very very similar to my cheap Freight Harbor for 40... is that compressor any good?
Also which AB did you get for 63?

Ahhhh my wallet is going to suffer some more =(

sorry evil pay is what i call e-bay, the super jet is a great tool, I have a 6 hp 60 gallon tank upright compresser in the garage but wanted something light and quite, the airbrush is down stairs i think its a hp b its gravity fed and has a small bowl very petete great action even as a noob my lines are fine and at 4 inches away it has good coverage

You know what it got me thinking...
That very very first brush I owned was NOT an Iwata BUT the quality was so close that it would got most people fooled!
Its a 0.2mm very very similar to the HP-B+ (minus the pre set handle)
IWATA-MEDEA • Products • Airbrushes • Hi-Line • HP-B Plus • Medea Airbrush Products
I got it for under $30! (it was 150 francs, France)
I bought it when I was 12 (25 now)
Works Awesome, SMOOTH
The sad part is that there is no brand or nothing on it =(
Maybe I can do some researching and bring some here
Let some newer member start of with a awesome brush minus the cost!

Iwata is expensive BUT you get what you payed for, now I am not saying that the other brands of brushes are crap
But the craftsmanship of those damn jap brushes is amazing =) (I hope that they are made in JP lol)
