New Airbrush

Post by Leo Calleros »

I have a large collection of pretty much every airbrush made and my favorites for doing more fine art kind of stuff are my Iwatas but for doing any sign type of painting, I always favored my Paasche single action since there really isnt much need for too much paint flow variation.

Well, I ordered a couple of cheapo single action gravity feed airbrushes from tcpglobal.com on Ebay by the brand name Master and I gotta say, it is great. I love it.

I gave one to a sign painter friend that has always swore by Iwata and after using it he ordered a few more to become his primary airbrush. Not because its such a better airbrush, but because its a better bush for sign painting and such.

When coupled with a moisture filter that screws to the air inlet, it is so comfy and easy to use. The paint flow can be controlled by a simple turn of a control knob in the rear. Its just a pleasure to use because it makes it a lot easier to use.

For bigger stuff where I need a lot of paint and a jar, I still love my paasche single action but for everything else I have switched exclusively to the Master single action.

Here is a picture of one.

I bought mine off Ebay from them because hey are 40 dollars there as opposed to 60 on the website.

Just a heads up to anyone interested, it made things easier for me.
