My first brush

[Mr_M1k3]

Hey people. I have never used an air brush before and I plan to buy one for Xmas. I am a woodworker and I want to incorporate some AB into some of my projects. I also own a motorcycle that I intend to repaint and I would like to do a little art work on it. I have been eyeballin some badger and iwata brushes but I would like some input from you guys for my first brush purchase. (Do the all size in one needles from badger really perform that well or should I go with changing tips and needles?) (Badger or Iwata . . . or what?) (The style of the Badgers and Iwatas seem to be appealing to me but there are none in my town so I can't physically pick one up)

Hello Mr M1k3 and welcome to the forum,
Dimock has given you some great advice; here is my 2 cents worth. When I started out I bought the Badger 155 thinking that it would be OK and for the price it is a great gun, I then bought a Iwata HP-C off e-bay, WOW what a difference! I can run a hairline like it is nothing now. Just this past week I went out and got an Eclipse HP-CS so I could throw heavier paint, I got the 2 tips and needles with it also the 3.5 & the 5.0. This is a great gun also but if you need the super fine lines you may want to go with the HP-C. It all depends on what you are using it for. The Badger may do just fine as some people love theirs. As for me I have become an Iwata man. But then again this is just my 2 cents .
