i did a bunch of reviews on the airbrushes i use on my youtube channel. they might help you out some.

this is my main detailing brush

you can check out the others. Remember you get what you pay for but in the long run you will have way more issues with badgers then paying more cash for a iwata.

sum it up

had a badger 2020, over a year i had to replace the needles like 10 times ($12 a needle), send to badger like 3 to repair (free but paid for shipping).


Iwata HP-CH over a year just kept it clean and kept on working.

Love my iwatas I have 4 of them, and just got a complete replacement on one after a few years owning it, one of the welds broke after tightening the air connector hose too much, didn't even have to pay a fee.

ya thats the one i use for all my detailing work.

Just remember its not good for thick paints like metallic, pearls etc..

so if you plan to do solid coats and thick paints will need a airbrush with a thicker nozzle that can push those paints. This one is good for thinned out paints.

this one i what i use for thick paints. you can't change the nozzle or needle in the other one and you wouldn't want too either.
