For my first airbrush I picked up a Iwata HP-CS from Hobbylobby. Their 40% off coupons rock!

If your going to be painting much get a respirator or at least a charcoal filter type dust mask.

No dumb questions. Even tho it's not toxic you can still breath in the particles and why not be safe anyways!

I purchased a neo and returned it to get a Eclipse up-cs. I would like to get another airbrush for sparing large areas. My question is. Would it be best to get another Iwata style brush or does it matter. I Read on here that you have to get a Iwata air line for iwata brushes. If this is the case, if I got a master or something else. Will I have to run another line to my compressor?

You can always get an adapter to mate just about any hose to any airbrush.

Sorry about all the typos and miss spells. I sent the earlier post from cell phone. Anyways, so how would I change from air brush to air brush? Unscrew the line to connect to another airbrush?

Default Airbrush Choice

I am looking at picking up a second airbrush.

I am debating picking up either of the following:

Iwata Revolution

Iwata HP-CS

Curious which would be better suited to spraying bodies and getting into doing fades and such. The revolution comes with the 0.5 needle and the HP-CS comes with the .35 needle. Not sure the 0.35 needle would be good for spraying paints straight from the bottle (using createx, auto-air and faskolor paints). Guessing as is the HP-CS would be best to get the 0.5 needle as well to do plain coverage work. Then use the 0.35 needle for shading.

Thanks in advance.

Master and Iwata have the same size input so the same quick connect will work.

Hello! Yes you can use it. As long that it haves a moister trap, and haves continuing air pressure and reaches at least 85psi your ok whit it.
