kbkindle Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 kbkindle here i have looked at most of the air brushes and have come up with what i think i need for the job of painting fishing lures with createx paint i have a badger 175 now but it dont seem to be what i want it is more like i dont know how to air brush more than the brush i want a brush that dont put out a lot of paint at one time. i have tried regulating the air pressure but thats not it. it is not just smooth action. when i was in body shop you could buy a develibus ar any name brand for about $200.00 but i bought a couple guns made in germany for $700.00 a piece and they were as smooth as silk. but in the air brush part i have no clue as what to buy can you guys help me i know you guys that have been making and painting lures for a long time have bought more than 1 airbrush , till you get what you think is the best thank you kb (i have been looking at a iwata hp-b+ and there upgrades??)

BobP Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I've had a HP-B + for several months and love it. The 1/8oz cup is plenty large enough for painting lures. I think it will do just what you want to do - much finer atomization and control, thinner coats of paint. BTW, it's also easy to clean and not fussy to operate.

dampeoples Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Bob - you're about to sell me on one of these as well! You have a good source for one of these, well, a good price, don't much care where I get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Wish I did! I bought mine new on Ebay for around $130, less than the very inflated retail cost. They seem in fairly high demand. I don't see many used ones for sale but alot of new ones are offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dampeoples Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 That's about the price I've seen on eBay, I was ready to pull the trigger until my truck broke a few weeks ago - and still not fixed yet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
