CA Delta Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have checked out some threads on Iwata air brushes, but not sold on the one that will best suit my needs. Nothing to expensive, under a $100. Just starting out, as you can see. Also what paint would you guys use on PVC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6_feet_deep Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 HP-CS...use a 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby. It's perfect for covering base color and for doing slight detail work. It has a .35 needle and it's gravity feed...I love it. Hobby Lobby doesn't have a store in Cali, but I don't know if you have someone that could get it for you and ship it to you. Anyway, just my Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR KNOW IT ALL KIND OF Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Iwata HP BCS... .50mm tip.. most paint you will find requires a .50 tip or higher... I like my paint semi runny thick.. not as thin as water runny yet not as thick as runny nose snot!!! kinda between those 2 points !!. The "yogi bera" Rookie!

benton B Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm with 6 feet deep on this one, that brush is the cat's arse. I've sprayed everything thru that .35 tip including micro-flake (pain to clean that one). You can't beat that 40% off from hobby lobby.

mark poulson Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I have the HPC eclipse plus, which, I think, has a .35 tip, and an Iwata knock off, by Master, with a .25 tip and manual air control valve. I like the MAC valve on the Master, but the quality of the gun, including the threads on the mating pieces that you take apart and reassemble when cleaning between colors, and the needle itself, are way below Iwata. I really like my HPC. I got the Master to see if the MAC valve made a big difference. It is really nice to be able to control the air right there at the gun, especially for fine lines, which is why I got the .25 tip, but it likes to spit any paint that's not thin and watery. Even a violet transparent Createx I had sitting for two months, which thickened a little after I opened it and used it once. I think I will rig and in line valve, after the regulator/water trap, that will do the same air control thing as the MAC valve. It should be easier to adjust than the regulator I have on the air line now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
