MikeM427 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I want to buy an Iwata airbrush but I am not sure what model and what size paint cup would be best for lure painting. Would the 1/16 oz cup be big enough? I plan to paint just a few lures at a time for my personal use. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Any of the Iwatas with a 1/16 oz gravity feed cup will hold enough paint for 2 or 3 lures and when you need more, just squirt it in the cavity. I wondered about this too when I began considering Iwata but found that the HP-B+ I bought is just about "perfect sized" for painting crankbaits. I think you'll love the Iwatas. IMO, they're a cut above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM427 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks Bob, that is the info I wanted. What brand of paint do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I use anything that's the right color. Createx or Translatex are what I have right now but I'm not particular. I even use "hobby acrylics" like Apple Barrel to get specific shades. The Iwata handles them fairly well without clogging. But a Paasche VL or Badger 175 handles the coarse paints better so I use them for white basecoats and other "all-over" paint coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
