Longbow Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Following a paint disaster with a recent build, I decided to shell out on new airbrush’s. Ive been using this Badger for the past two years, since I got back into the hobby. All of a sudden, I started to notice a lot of spatter, and experienced issues with paint flow, tip drying, splatter, etc. Looking for spare parts to replace the needle and cone, I decided to go all out, instead, so brought these. I plan on testing them out on a new build, as I simmer over the Spit VIII that I shelved for a while. The main issue was user error, to start with, but I’m hoping new tools will help me improve a little. Now I just need a pressure regulator. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Same path as myself mate, You will never look back after using the Iwata’s, so much more precise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longbow Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Just brought a new, to me, compressor too. Found one at a pawn shop for $100. It’s probably overkill, but I’ll get a pic later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 I found this Fortress compressor, for $100 at the local pawn shop. Probably way overkill, but cheaper than buying an airbrush compressor at Hobby Lobby. I was hoping it would fit under my desk, but is 3 inches too high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
