And finding that video in this thread is why I read these forums! Ya never know what info you will find! Thanks folks, for the info!
Regarding the topic, in my limited exp painting small plastic car bodies, i too find that the gravity brush vs a siphon or side fed is much easier to clean. But even saying much easier, it's really only a difference in a minute or 2. I use a Badger 100 side feed (comparable to the Thayer and Chandler side feeds in size. Love the small size of this brush!) and various gravity fed brushes including a Talon and cheap Amazon top feed brushes. I've yet to get to the artistic use of airbrushes and comparisons of lines, but I now have a glass frame set up with practice sheets thanks to this thread! Yeah, I'm gonna like it here!
