I mentioned in a post in the Odds and Ends forum about wanting to paint my computer monitor black and that I needed the airbrush that put out the most paint for this job. Well, today the UPS man brought my new Crescendo and I tried it out along with my other siphon-feed models to see which one put out the most paint.
I did this test from 6" away from the surface at 40 psi with Aqua-Flow Silk Black textile paint and the results are below.
It seems the Crescendo with a med tip/needle did indeed put out the most paint, but the Badger 360 was not far behind.
I can't read the names under each line very well on the forum so they are as follows from top to bottom:
Badger Crescendo, Badger 155 Anthem, T&C Omni 3000, T&C Vega 2000, Badger 360.
I was just curious as to what kind of spray pattern you can get while doing larger paint jobs and this info might come in handy when you build that 1/48 AC-130 or B-1B.
