Free to a good home...

Posted by wing_nut on Wednesday, July 26, 2006 6:31 PM

I have not used this since I got back into the hobby over a year ago and would like to give it to someone that needs it. So if you don’t have an AB, or someone that does not have one, let me know.

Just write a 500 word essay on the meaning of life Shock [:O] ... NAH forget that…. I would have to read them and that will take away from build time . Just ask… first come first serve.

Paasche H single action. I ran the tip through the ultra sonic cleaner a few times so it should be good to go but check it over when ya get it.

No airbrush "collectors" please... this should go to a modeler looking to get their 1st AB.

If you are under 18 I wil assume you have permission to give me you home address for shipping.

Good on you, I recently got my first AB and know how hard it is to decide waht you need and waht you get. This way someone can have it easier.

Eight badgers? Wow..... are they as aggresive as I hear tell? Is it true that they get mad if you poke them with spoons?

Oh....

Badger airbrushes....

Ah.....

Whew..... scared me for a minute.

They might be. Can you hook 'em up for a test? Mine looks pretty ratty on the outside, but still sprays like a champ. Remember, it's what's on the inside that matter. Big Smile [:D]

With the rust I suppose you could try cleaning them up using sandpaper, sand using a hard grit first then work down to a fine grit, might not be as shinny as the of the AB, but it will stop the rusting and the life of the brush will be increased aswell.

Btw, great thing you doing!

Depends how bad I guess. But if soemone is doing without due to a lack of funds... maybe for just the the price of just a new tip/needle they can be ABing future projects...I say go for it.

If they are Badgers I might be tempted to send them to Badger and see if they can salvage them for you. The rust may only be on the outside.

So long folks!

OK all, I have 2 A/Bs for 2 of you that do not have any at all. The 2 I have are the Badger 350-1-M Single Action and the Badger Professioal 150 Double Action. Both are bottle feed and I have tested both and they seen to work good.

NOW as Wing-Nut has said, " If you are under 18, I will assume you have permission to give me you home address for shipping ".

Please if you have an A/B don't ask for these.

Have a GREAT day all

The Badger 350 come with a small booklet. You will need eather a Compressor or a Air Bottle Can and a Hose, and all of them you can get at your LHS.

If you want to try it NP at all.

Please let me know what you want to do.

Now Bud, that 350 badger looks like the one I picked up a few yrs. ago at Harbor Freight Shock [:O]

As for manuals, do like I did, contact Badger direct. They emailed me a copy of the instruction booklet just for asking Approve [^]

Nuttin' wrong with the 350. I found my old one awhile back and use it to spray primer, Future and thicker mixes. Quick setup, take down and clean up.

I've only had mine a short while, and at first it really intimidated me. Then I actually used it- and it wasn't near the hurdle I thought it would be.

At first, I used canned air, and was about to throw it all away. Then I got a compressor, thanks to H2O_MARK (and a Paasche VL!), and I was pretty quickly airbrushing in a decent fashion.

Give it a shot. With a little patience and practice, you'll start wondering how you survived without an airbrush. I used to read that here on the forums, and I thought "Riiiiight....". But danged if it ain't true. Now I wish I could just A/B everything. The difference in the finish is incredible!

I still have trouble with double action brushes, which is why I still use my Badger 200NH more than my Iwata HP-CS. But I'm slowly getting the hang of it. The 350, being a single action, may be easier to pick up and use for the first time, compared to a dual. The 350 is also an external mix, which makes it easy to clean up, but doesn’t have as fine of a spray as the internal mix 150 - which equates to a better quality finish. That's why I use my 350 for jobs where a less refined spray is ok.

Really depends on what you guys want to do. Some say its best to start with a dual action, so you never have that transition that I'm going through now.

Now remember I'm no expert, and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either Wink [;)]
