CNC Molds N Stuff Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) A friend of mine gave my son a brand new Badger 350 (NIB) airbrush a few days ago. I've read up on it a little, but I wanted to know if anybody was actively using one and thought it was great. Yeah, I know free is good, but is it going to be a big pain or a wonderful tool? I have no idea what my son plans to use it for if anything. .. .. .. .. Edited April 13, 2015 by Bob La Londe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I started out with a single action Badger a long time ago. They are a little fussy to use and in no way as useful as a double action brush - but they get the job done if you aren't trying to paint detail.

Musky Glenn Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I use the Badger 200 which is a single action. I have been happy with them until I man handled it a little much and caused a problem on the first one. (Me bad) Bought another one because I liked it.

barrybait Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 My first airbrush was a Badger 150 recommended to me by a taxidermist friend. Good because the set included three sizes nozzles and needles. It really is a good brush but in the end I went to Iwata because the Badger was a siphon feed with the cup off the bottom and feed difficulties/wasted paint were the end result because so often I'm painting 1 or 2 baits and it is more trouble to change colors. If you're a taxidermist painting a striper that's probably not a problem. Good brush, good control, well made. Don't know how similar it is to the 350 but Badger is a good quality manufacturer in airbrushes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2199 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I have a badger 155 anthem, which is quite different as mine is gravity fed and dual action. So all I can say is im happy with the quality of Badger. The dual action and smaller needles allow for better control with fine details. From what I saw on the 350's description it is really good for larger volumes of paint, and depending on the tip it can shoot heavier paints. Which isn't a bad thing, just depends on your application. I believe Badger has a comparison chart on their website of all the models which shows the strengths and weaknesses of each airbrush.
