RiverMan Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Just make sure you keep one with the cup on top..............gravity feed. The bottles on the bottom with the siphon feed are a HUGE HASSLE.............way too much cleanup time. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I like to have 2 airbrushes on hand, one with a tip in the .3 - .35 mm range and one with a .2 mm tip. Large tip for color basecoating, overall color, and thicker flake paints, and the smaller tip brush for fine shading and details. I think the Eclipse usually has a .35 mm tip? Tip size and type of airbrush becomes a "personal thing" to most guys - a particular tip size and brush fits one guy's painting habits better than another and it takes a little time to learn what suits you. Sort of like fitting a gun stock to the shooter. I do think most users like gravity feed brushes better than siphon feed after they try them. They shoot paint easier, don't waste paint, and are faster to clean for the next shot. You're a lucky man if your wife stepped up and got you what is IMO the best brand airbrush first time out!
