Hello...I am a noob and I admit it...But I'm HOOKED! Today I broke my nozzle on my airbrush. I plan to get a new one but can I salvage it? I bought it off of ebay and could not tell you who the manufacturer is but here's a picture.It has a .2mm needle if that helps..Thank you in advance.

Sorry to here you did that, parts for these cheap chinese knock-offs are almost imposible to get (hope you didn't pay too much for it) This happened to me with my first airbrush too! but I had gone and bought an expensive brush and was a costly exercise I suggest if are hooked buy a better one now...
hope this helps,
cheers Lou.
 
If your used to a "knock off" then an entry level iwata such as the neo (for iwata) or the revolution would be great for you. As the cheap ones seem to be copies of the iwata brushes. If you're going to get hooked on something airbrushing is a good pastime.
 
I have one exactly the same on loan from a friend and I really like it. Almost bought one myself if it was not for the huge cup and paint cavity.

Anyway, like they say, it's a cheap knock-off and spares can be difficult to get. Just search for a "BD-130 airbrush".
 
I have to agree with FARAM on this one,when i just started i bought myself some black bull brushes.....and they seem very nice when i got them at first but when they started to have problems (due to putting all 4 of them disassemble in a sonic cleaner and not knowing anymore where to put what). I decided to invest some money into quality brushes and i have to say that i am impressed on the things i can do with these compared to my old ones. Much more detail can be put into your works with quality....and i bet they last longer also....since you payed more for them your will to keep them nice and clean is much higher also.And they don't have to be new from the shop,the same quality can be in your hands for second hand price too.
 
What actual part broke? The head assembly or the cap..Some airbrushes work fine without the actual nozzle cap, some don't, but if its the head assembly itself there's prob little that can be done besides replacement but I'd agree with the other comments, buy a brand name if possible because spare parts and good service is much easier to find..GL..

PS To all that buy cheaper guns...Buy two, one to paint with and the other to sacrifice for spares LOL
 
Not completely sure but try a company called everything airbrush, looks similar to one they sell and they do all the spares too.
 
You guy's offered some useful information..We appreciate it alot...I went out and purchased a new brush today and also I contacted the manufacturer and he offered to sell me another gun for $15 because he did not have spare nozzles...I actually thought the gun sprayed well and I am contemplating on buying one just for a second brush.

Hello.
I broke too the buzzard of my airbrush.
It is a SPARMAX DH-125.
On which site I can buy the buzzard.
Thank you very much.
 
Hey Wigz, I see you got the Patriot, I have one too, awesome brush, with the tapered needle you can get really fine to empty a full cup in 10 seconds. Enjoy :)

That looks very much like a Fengda BD-130 airbrush. Most of the Chinese knock offs are made by Fengda and just rebranded with different names. Here in the U.S. I would suggest buying spare parts from TCP Global as their Master series of airbrushes are rebranded Fengdas. Other than that, I don't know who stocks parts for these.
 
This is just me as I think I got a dud Badger 105, but I get better results from the no-name BD-130 then I do from the Patriot. But atleast now you can get spares easily. A interesting thing about that pic of the 105 is that the gun does not have "U.S.A." on it.
 
Who can help me to find a store where I can find spare parts.
It is Sparmax DH-125.
Thank you
