Gravity Fed airbrush question
Posted by Bwog on Monday, December 6, 2004 1:11 PM
Dear FSM forum,
I recently received Badger's 360 airbrush with the gravity fed option. Is there a cup or container to hold paint? There is a funnel device on top of the airbrush but shouldn't there be a accessory piece to fit into this? I checked out Badger's webpage and didn't see any thing listed?

Surly i don't just poor paint into it, there must be a reservoir of some sort for gravity fed airbushes...?

Thanks?

Thats the color cup, which many have complained is too small to be of much use.

Yep, that's the color cup. You can also rotate it downwards and use a bottle in siphon feed mode.

That small colour cup is primarily for using small amounts of paint for very fine spray jobs or light weathering effects you rotate it and use a siphon feed bottle if you are applying base coats or spraying large areas!

I have the 360 and I use the gravity feed option when I only need to spray a small part or touch something up and it isn't worth hooking up the siphon feed.. its also very handy for cleaning.. after using the siphon feed I turn it up and use it to hold the thinner I spray thru it for cleaning....... all in all I love the airbrush and is what i use for most of my airbrushing now..

All of the standard plastic and glass jars will fit the 360.
Even the Paasche jars fit it.
