Being a novice to Airbrushing I`m wondering about the question of whether to carry on indefinitely using the two Badger Airbrushes I use ,which are the Badger Xtreme Patriot 105 ,and the Badger Renegade Krome, or eventually switch to try the Iwata custom micron ?
You see ,I really like using these two and I`ve never try`d anything else mainly because of the short time I`ve been Airbrushing and the other is the cost involved . But because the Iwata custom is a revered brush as far as I can see as the Holy grail of airbrushes (unless I`m totally wrong) , Its that O`l nagging voice in the back of your mind making me wonder about a Custom Micron .
No one I know does paintbrushing in my vicinity ,so I can`t even try out an Iwata custom ,so thats out .
I do realize I`ve still got a long way to go yet in Airbrushing and I know people will rightly say ," wait till you have much more experience before even thinking about that ". But you can`t help thinking about it , so I just thought I`d ask , " is eventually the Iwata Custom Micron worth me selling my two Badgers and buying the Custom Micron or might I just as well keep my two "boys" I `ve got now because I wouldn`t be much better off If I did change ? Is the Custom Micron really that much better to warrant changing to or is there not going to be much difference gained in what I would find after the change ? I find it hard to see I`d get a much better brush than the Xtreme patriot 105 , but again I havn`t tried any other makes so I don`t know.
I throw it open to your opinions guys ?
