Iwata Neo owners
Posted by RockyD on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 11:30 PM

I have been using my Neo exclusivly with acrylics,but my current build will requier me to spray some enamal and also some lacquer.

I know that some of the hotter solvants will destroy the o-rings in lower end, lower cost brushes like the Neo.

I want to spray some decanted lacquer primers and a few different enamals without damaging my AB.

any help would be apreciated, Rocky

Here is a link to a discussion I had a few months back. I did have the o-ring disintegrate on the fuild cup. Not sure if it was from straight spraying or when I cleaned up the airbrush with a little lacquer thinner. Since then I've used thread tape a couple times as one suggested and has seemed to work just fine. I've worried about the nozzle o-ring but so far it looks ok and if it does go, I'll try beeswax as Don Wheeler suggested.

Hope this helps!

I've owned my NEO by Iwata for over one and a half years now and have sprayed acrylics, enamels, and lacquer through it.  There were no issues nor concerns at all.  I also own a NEO by Iwata TRN1.  I've sprayed the same type of paints mentioned above without any problems.  They are excellent and inexpensive good quality AB.

I too have been using the Neo for about 2 years and have only had one issue with the O rings and that was user error, not solvents, etc.  You should be good to go.
