Hey guys, FYI I just put 2 airbrushes up for sale in the Classified section under Miscellaneous!
Be sure to check them out if you're interested in painting your own baits. Trust me- you'll love it. I also have a few pics of a couple more baits I did on there. One is a girly ""woops"y shad" I did for my girlfriend and the other is a green baitfish pattern I slapped on a Redeye Shad.

I wish I had the funds right ow I woud by it for crash.

Jordan, As far as airbrushes is it better to havethe small cup? Looks like you wouldn't waste as much paint that way. $:-\$

TightLinez · December 11, 2008, 03:40:03 PM

I don't think the size of the cup matters too much. I generally use 4 or 5 drops of each color, no mater how big the cup is. A bigger cup definitely helps out when you're running cleaner through the brush, because you can put more in, and it won't spew out as much when you backwash. Maybe Barry or some of the other painters know more about it though.

Barry must be busy this week, I haven't seen him post much. If I am going to spend the money on an airbrush for her I want it to be a good one. What is the difference between a good and bad brush. Is it just the needle quality?

I think it's more the nozzle and not the needle. Some of the needles you get on the high end brushes are the same ones on the cheaper models. It's the brush's ability to shoot paint at lower psi and doing it without spitting that makes it good. The Iwata I have for sale can shoot consistently at around 12psi which is great for getting close for precision painting. The Master I just sold, although still a good brush, needs close to 20psi to shoot paint. Barry and I both use the Iwata HP-B. It's the same exact brush as the HP-C, but the B has a .2mm needle and a 1/16oz. cup- the C has a .3mm needle and a 1/3oz. cup.

The HP-B will spray patterns hairline-.75" and the C will spray patterns hairline-1"

I wish I had the money right now.

TightLinez · December 17, 2008, 08:04:06 PM

Just reduced for the Iwata to $75+s/h (around $5 with insurance), plus I'll throw in a couple 2oz. bottles of acrylic paint to get you started. Hurry up guys so I don't have to put this on ebay! I'll take paypal, money order, check, or offer me something for trade.
