Richard Prager Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have that brush and it is a great brush. I also have a couple of Eclipse CS. The difference is the Hi-line's parts are a bit more precision made and i believe the seals are impervious to solvents. The only downfall that i see (for me anyways) is the hi-line has a .03mm nozzle and the Eclipse has a .035 nozzle. I do not have to thin ANY pearls, irricdecents, colors shifts with the Eclipse. I just stay away fro Createx white and use Poytranspar Super Hide. I do not have to thin any paints with the Eclipse.I guess you can say I'm lazy and/or i don't like the extra work. This is what works for me.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have the Hi-Line from Iwata as well and I love it, but like 152nd said I do need to thin some of the paints to get them to shoot like I want. And I like the MAC valve as well. It allows you to fine tune the spray without having to adjust your air pressure at the regulator. I don't have any experience with the other brush you listed, but the Hi-Line is a great airbrush and spare parts are readily available anywhere the airbrush is sold. hope this helps, Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhersh Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thanks for your help on my question of airbrushes. It looks like the Hi-Line wins. I just started doing this about 3 Months ago with a harbor frieght gun, I got hooked on it so I purchased a Neo for iwata which is ok, but I now have permision from my better half to purchase the better gun. LOL. Again thanks alot for the imput on this matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
