choosing a brush

[FiFdYnUtZ]

hey guys, i am fairly new to airbrushing and im looking at getting a new airbrush for some more artistic type stuff...i work primarily with automotive solvent based base coat paints and do custom painting on motorcycles, snowmobiles, cars, etc....i already have a nice dual action syphon airbrush but i am looking for something that i can get a little more detail with (gravity feed preferably) and do more of the airbrushing instead of the usual flame shadowing stuff i use my current brush for...
i have been looking at 2 different brushes..
tthis grex XG
and this iwata kustom CS

which one would be better for me? or is there a better one out there for me? i leaning twords the grex because of it being $75 less..but if the iwata is substancially better i will go for that...any help is appreciated! thanks!!

You can go to the flea market and buy some off brand wrench made in China or you can go to Sear's (craftsman) or Snap On and buy a quality tool the decision is yours.
Myself I don't like busting my knuckles when the cheap off brand wrench breaks.

Iwata is the Sear's (craftmans), Snap On quailty tool in the form of an airbrush. http://www.dixieart.com/Eclipse.html

ditto on what don said....IF your serious, there is no point in learning with a brush that doesnt work well.....you will have to learn all over again when you get a good one....jmho

If you are in the states, the site Don posted has always had the best prices. I have been using them for over 2 years with no issues other than the occational out of stock item. I always call the 800 number and talk to a real person rather than using the Online ordering. Sometimes this takes a while to get someone. There are only a couple of people on phones so you get a recorder. Keep trying you will get someone!
