Well with 6_feet_deep's help I located a sale at Hobby Lobby on Airbrushes (30% off) and picked up an Iwata Eclipse.
Let's just say if you are new to this DON'T buy a cheaper airbrush like the Master one I got (G44). The G44 did OK on simple non pearl or metallic paints but just frustrated me trying to paint pearls and metallics. The Master's are just too fine a needle and point and clog up. Your constantly clearing/cleaning and hoping it will spray the color batch you just mixed. Swapping out to a .3 needle and point helps but still didn't get it.
The Eclipse blasted out the pearl and metallic like it was water even with only a .35 needle and point. Like Night and Day. It will take some time to get used to the width/volume control on the Eclipse now, but wow, what a difference.
I think I will have to put on an inline pressure adjustment right on the hose versus always spraying at 45#s. Any suggestions from the pros?
