What aribrushes do you have?

1. I have a Tamiya 74545 Spray-Work HG Airbrush III Super Fine with the 0.2mm nozzle.

2. An Iwata HP-B           
3. An older Aztek 4702A

I have an Iwata Revolution CR that I won in a raffle at a show about 5 or 6 years ago and an Aztek A430 from a long time ago. I use the Aztek for primer and the Iwata for all the rest.

I've had one for over twenty years that I've never used. I think it's a Badger, but no clue what model. Maybe one of these days I'll dig it out of the "pile" and actually play with it.

I use an Iwata right now.  I still have a Badger 150 but don't use it often, but I still love it.  I also have an Aztec, it did good work for me. 

I have 6.  Two Badger 175s, two 350s, a Binks Wren and an Iwata gravity feed knockoff.

I generally use the 175 because it fits my rather large hands better than the pencil like bodies of most airbrushes.  I also like the fact that the parts are large and I find easier to clean.   I have however relegated one of the 350s to clearcoats only so I suppose it get used quite a bit as well.

I have a Patriot 105 and a Sotar 20/20. The Patriot has a medium tip and gets the most use. The 20/20 has a very fine tip for close-up fine work but it doesn't come out very often.

Like several posters above I have both a Badger 100 and a 150- that is a SA and a DA.  My normal brushing is with the SA because it is easier to clean. I use the double action for camouflage and for color modulation and light stains.

I often have trouble with the latter, though, getting the fore and aft spring back in the exact right place after cleaning.

greg , I have a H&S evolution , can't use it , spit's everywhere , which is unfortunate , cause when I get it going , it's a nice brush . for giggles , I saw a good review on the bartsharp airbrush's , haven't used it yet .

Hate to hear you're having trouble with it, Steve. As you said, it is such a nice airbrush.

Gravity feed double action Iwata something or another.  It’s a fine airbrush and works flawlessly.  But the user sucks (that’s me).

Siphon feed single action Badger 200, which is my workhorse AB for 38 years so far.

Hi;

     Although I don't use them much now I have these. A sixty year old year old De-Vilbis touch -up Auto Brush. a Fifty five year old Binks Wren. Two Paasche pro series Striping brushes and two Paasche Hobby Brushes.   

      Yes, they are old But, They still work well. Why? I have always done what PaPa tought me . Take of the Tools that earned me a living!  I don't have a picture, but, I also have a very old professional Air-Pro Sign painters unit. It still works, But it's so rare I don't use it much at all. Besides I cannot get replacement parts for it anymore.

 And being as it is an antique I will not mix and match parts to keep it running. My compressors have always been either W.R.Brown or De-Vilbis. Again,for sheer dependability and steadfast running ability. I had a Badger unit and burned it out painting Volkswagens.

     Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to mention My old Badger double action. I got it as a gift in the nice clear and red plastic case. Still use it and still put it in the case when clean and finished . I also use a very old, brand unknown, 35lb auto detail paint unit. It uses De-vilbis generic parts and such. It is about a fifty year old unit too. That one has so much overspray on it I would be afraid to try and clean it all off. It might fall apart !LOL.LOL.

Tanker-Builder says. Take care of your tools and they'll take care of you. I know, an old saying, But I just had to throw it in there. Happy Painting ......Tanker-Builder

One currently. A Badger 105.

I don't use an a/b too often as I'm out of aircraft and into ships.

I have 4 , 2 I use . an iwata HP-C plus my main one ,a beautiful brush . an iwata neo I use for priming .

greg , I have a H&S evolution , can't use it , spit's everywhere , which is unfortunate , cause when I get it going , it's a nice brush . for giggles , I saw a good review on the bartsharp airbrush's , haven't used it yet .

2 that I always use.  A Badger 150 and a Badger 200.  The 200 is a gravity feed and it gets the most use.  The 150 gets used for larger area jobs.  I usually have medium needles in both of them.  I have a spare 150 and another 200 detail brush but I've never made friends with it.

Too many.  I always fall back to my Paasche H.  The workhorse.

Two. Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and H&S Evolution Silverline 2 in 1.

Although I like everything about the H&S better, including how it feels in my hand, easy no-tool strip down, super-smooth trigger, I still tend to reach for the Iwata usually.

I guess it's because I keep a .5mm needle nozzle it in, I seldom find a need for the .4 of the H&S, let alone the .2. Plus I feel I can strip and clean the Iwata darn near blindfolded, I've done it so many times. Having typed that, it seems there really is no rational reason I use the Iwata more.

2, both badgers. A 100 with a fine head and a 150 with the medium. I use the 150 most of the time.
