Xtreme patriot 105 badger
Posted by Srpuln10 on Monday, February 24, 2020 5:56 PM

Has anyone got one or used one?  I've been looking around for a new airbrush. It looks like a great one for the money. I've gotta iwata neo. Don't get me wrong it's a every good but you're kinda limited on som things you can do. Plus I've got a air compressor that's a little old. The way that you can turn a knob on the bottom and control the air flow. What's everyone opinion?

I have two Extreme's, found the little screw on the bottom for regulation to be relatively ill fitting and not useful on the first one, had Ken at Badger make one for me without tapping the barrel for threads. I regulate prior to the airbrush, simple really. Nice airbrushes though.

Depending on what you will be painting, I'd recommend you first check out "Don's Airbrush" website. That might give you some insight as to the type and brand that will work well for you.

Of all my Badger airbrushes, the one I use nearly all of the time is the 100G, followed by the 100LG. Those cover my bases best overall. Very rugged, low cost, give them good care and you'll have them for a lifetime. One of mine is well over 40 years, still works perfectly with minimal parts replacements.

Hi!

 

I have a standard patriot and love it! Replaced my Iwata HP-CS 10 years ago with it and love it! The air valve can only be an improvement! You can trust a 105!

I like Badger airbrushes, my favorite airbrush is a 45 yo Badger 200 set, the old style with screw in nozzles. They spray well, parts are cheap, good support etc etc. But I'm just curious what you think the Badger is going to do that the Neo can't do ?
