conversion

Don't think I have converted anybody.

People should buy what is available close to them and suits their needs, I am all against the brand/maker specific thinking.

just wondering, and amusement

I talked someone into eating a bug once in 3rd grade.. thats about the closest..

Same here, I am happy to tell someone how much I love my airbrushes, and the ups and dows of gravity vs siphon feed etc.. but depending on their situation like available cash versus what they want it for there's a lot of brushes out there that will do the job...

besides when they can't figure out how to use it 2 weeks from now I dont want them coming back to me because they dont like it..

None, that I know of. I prefer Badger / T&C but that's a personal preference. Besides, in the cases of the good airbrushes I personally don't think there is a lot of difference among them. The difference is in the hand holding it.

tho, that's hillarious.

i remember convincing someone to ambush a friend of mine, by hiding behind a tree with a bag of sand, and another guy behind another tree, it was like the swat team clockwork perfection. he was mad at me for 6 months.

well, none that I know of, but not for lack of trying... but if I reccomend a badger 155, and there's an iwata on sale near them, they should pronbably go for the iwata.
