Anyone use one airbrush for enamel and acrylic?

i'm with musiccity on this one.  i' ve used both acrylics and enamels right behind one another and never broke down the brush.  i just flushed with lacquer thinner and rocked on.  lacquer thinner evaporates so quickly anyway.  i normally "prime" the airbrush with the appropriate thinner before loading the paint into the airbrush, then spray some of the paint i load in a wide open 2 second or so burst and then get to work on my project.  never had a minutes trouble.  my airbrush is clean as a whistle.  later.

I use my Badger 200NH for my enamel spraying and my Paasche H for acrylics.  I'm sure that that I could use one brush for both, but by using separate airbrushes, I had a lovely excuse to buy the Paasche.  On the other hand, I often times find myself using the same paint brushes for both enamels and acrylics, even during the same session, and have experienced no ill effects.

Absolutely.  Acrylic, enamel, or lacquer.  I spray some lacquer thinner through it between paint types to clean it out and keep on going.

Thats why I try to avoid both types in one session... the cleaning between types is a major time killer and pain in the .

Because the enamel and acrylic paint systems are incompatible, it is very unwise to use one, then switch to the other without a thorough cleaning. Not to do so risks severe, difficult to remove clogs, and ruined paint jobs. As long as you clean thoroughly before switching, there should be no problem. Cleaning also means getting all the cleaning solution out of the brush.

I do........badger 150........no problems at all

Yes I have, but I usually try to stick with one type for the whole session unless it cannot be avoided.
