Help...

[Steve McCracken]

Hello gang,

I am experiencing several problems and have narrowed things to the source - hopefully.

I bought cheap equipment and am not satisfied with my results. Consequently, I want to go with Iwata and am comfortable with gravity feed. I dont know what the serial numbers mean.

Squishy has got me going with David at Coast.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

 

[JackEb]

which piece of equipment in particular is causing you grief Steve ?
If it's the brush and youre going to get an Iwata the the normal suggestion is for the Eclipse HPC a good all round workhorse that many continue to use for years after they've progressed to microns.

Buy them all you can NEVER have enough Airbrushes...(ACD).No what jackEB says is bang on,its a great all rounder and very forgiving.

No Dude, it's not ACD, it's AAD - Airbrush acquisition disorder

Thanks jackEB but I have gone on to collecting them since I bought my Micron everything else is just part of my collection and the fact that I cant airbrush for toffee...maybe I have both now AAD and ACD

What @JackEb said Eclipse is a fantastic all rounder. Mine is called Betty...

 

[Steve McCracken]

It is the brush...Are there several Eclipses? I am feeling better than when last note was written. Thank you.

Eclipse all the way. Gives good results and easy to clean and maintain.
HP-BS = small top cup, 0.35 needle
HP-SBS = side feed, 0.35 needle
HP-CS = big top cup, 0.35 needle
HP-BCS = bottom feed, 0.5 needle

Thank you much.

You cant go wrong with an eclipse, amazing brush. I always recommend it, its great to learn on, but also you wont outgrow it. I still use mine even though I have a micron now too. IMO they are the perfect combo.

What @Squishy said!

If you want to run with the big dogs you've got to get off the porch, and use few words...

Man, iwata gets a lot of love here...I'm outnumbered. I like my badgers. They are about an hour from where I live so maybe that's why. It's a close to home thing I guess. I also got a bunch used on the cheap.

 

[markjthomson]

... yes, they have a good name... Badgers certainly aren't poorly represented and their company response is legendary!

Nothing wrong with Badger air brush's there a good brush too! and if cost is something for you get a badger I'm sure you will enjoy it,and if you have any questions you can ask ken as he's a member here too.

I'm actually amazed how many 'mericans use Iwatas. With everybody's "buy American" policies I would think Iwata would be driven out of the country.
