Default Re: Airbrush Advice needed

Iwata are good, but they are overpriced for what they are.

I've gone through a few airbrushes over the years, started with a Paasche suction feed, but ddidnt like it.
Switched to a Tamiya HG superfine which was great. Fine tipped, screw adjustment for the trigger. But, couldnt change the tips of cup at all.

I looked at getting an Iwata, but they are over priced.

I ended up getting an Infinity by Harder and Steenbeck.
Infinity here

Has trigger tension adjustment, click to set trigger position, replaceable cups, can swap the needles/tips etc, and i love it. got it from here.

I cant recommend it enough.

I don't have any experience with the Infinity airbrushes. I have been using various Iwata brushes and compressors over the last 20 years and can attest they are not overpriced. That's not to say there aren't comparable products that are a good value. All depends on what you need and how much you'll put it to use. I use mine at least once a month so I can justify the extra expense. The biggest difference I saw in the Paasche and Badger brushes I had were that they were more difficult to take apart to clean. The Iwata is really simple to disassemble.
