interesting question Richard... not sure of the answer, but from what I remember the diameter of the pickup tube on the Iwata bottles appears to be larger than the tubes on the color cups from Badger... maybe you could try a pice of plastic tubing like for aquariums and size it up?

I'll know soon enough anyway Clown [:o)].
I'll post when I get the Iwata and let you know. The odd part is, I would have sworn I saw it written somewhere that this does work.
Even if it doesn't, who knows, maybe there is an adapter somewhere..

cool... good to know that, maybe the wall diameter is just thicker on the Iwata pickup tube making it look larger or something...

Got my Iwata Eclipse BCS. Very nice brush!Thumbs Up [tup]
The Badger colour cups definitely fit! I just used the brush for the first time and I used a Badger cup to spray with - good thing, too - the bottle that came with the brush will hold about 10 bottles of paint. I doubt it will ever get used. The badger bottles work as well.

They fit?! Awesome. I'd been wondering for ages, but I never knew. I actually custom built a cup using an old model-paint jar and the hardware from the 8-gallon bottle that came with my Iwata
