Matt,

I sent you an email with a number to call.

Let me know if you have any other questions that I might be able to help with.

Turned out to be a not so great deal...Evidently, and I don't know the whole story, but the guy who was running the business (somewhere in Maryland) was doing some pretty shady stuff, and was arrested. At least I didn't give the guy any money....So now I'm still in the market, and the Omni 4000 looks to be a pretty good deal. I checked out DixieArt.com to see prices for parts, etc. and it looked pretty reasonable. I have a Badger 350 that is older than dirt, and still sprays better than the Aztek. But it's not really that great as it's an external mix, and I'm hooked on getting a good double action internal mix brush...

Matt,

I thought you just bought a Badger 360 for a great deal?
What happened with that?

Mike,

Thanks for the heads up. The Omni sounds like a good deal, just looked it up on your company's (oops, I mean BADGER's) website. Let me know how to get in touch with them, etc... Much appreciated.

That airbrush is $59.95 brand new with free shipping from Dixie Art as a comparison. I wouldn't say that was a good price really.
I can direct you to my source where you can get an Omni 4000 with a hose for $81 plus shipping if you want an excellent airbrush for a good price.
That Paasche is also a good airbrush but I would prefer the Omni as it has a lot of innovations that the Paasche VSR90 is lacking, such as a cutaway handle, access to the needle tip, a better trigger, and a single needle/tip design.
