Finally Bought An Iwata

[RayburnGuy]

My new Iwata came today. Got the Hi-Line HP-CH. It has the MAC valve and that was one reason I decided on that brush. I know that most of you experienced airbrushers don't feel the MAC valve is necessary, but my trigger control isn't that great and it helps me compensate for that.

I tried it out today and was amazed at how much difference there was with the Iwata. First thing I noticed was how much better it atomized the paint. Couldn't believe how much smoother the paint went on. And the spray cone seemed much more uniform as well. Can already tell I'm going to love this brush. Now if I could just learn to paint.

Congrats! I want an Iwata next time. I have had a Paasche in the past , but all I hear about is these. Cannot wait to see some baits you have painted with it.

I have that brush too, take the nozzle cap off and you can paint blades of grass, its a fine piece of equipment!!

I have the same it is amazing how much control you have even when you suck at painting. It also lowers the learning curve on learning how to use a brush and the things you can do with a brush. PS try to write you name like its a pen its pretty cool.

You guys are right. It's a great brush. I've got a long way to go before painting blades of grass or achieving the kinds of detail a lot of you guys here at TU have. I remember reading someones comment on the message board about a great brush not making a great painter, but it has already made some things a lot easier. I can only hope that my painting skills will get better with time.

One warning about Iwatas - be careful with the needle and nozzle. The smaller tipped Iwata's are hand tuned at the factory for atomization and pattern. If you bend a needle or split a nozzle, there's really no way to get back to factory perfection.
