The talon is a nice budget brush, (I don't really care for the big trigger thing) but it does a nice job. Waterborne paints I find have kinda a melted crayon look, and stink like rotten cardboard however that's the way of the industry, Auto air is my preferred paints, due to its solvent base...A/bs like to spray thin so if your looking for a spray and go approach, you will need a larger tip so you can spray enamel (no clear required) But a scanner and small plot cutter is highly recommended for this, (making small stencils) due to overspray issues.

iwata brushes are my fav and auto air paint.

I use an Iwata hp-sb... Though mostly for scale model work

iwata , BCR revoloution is a great all around airbrush and fairly cheap. For more detailed work you'd probably want something else though. I got to test some Sata airbrushes last week , I'll be buying one of those also. It's nice to have a few airbrushes so you can spray multiple colors and not clean in between each color change . I only spay automotive paint . Tried waterbase once and hated it , doesn't mean you won't like it , just wasn't for me .

Well ,well , look what just showed up today . After testing this one I think I'm really going to like this one a lot . I would still recommend the iwata , but I really like Sata spray guns and this seems to be built with the same quality . And believe it or not this was cheaper than a comparable iwata .

I used to use a Badger and it gave me nothing but trouble, I thought I was just not cut out for airbrushing. Switched over to an Iwata Eclipse and it was a whole different ballgame.

I use Iwata spray guns at work everyday, why i screw around with this badger airbrush , I dont know
next purchase... new airbrush
Trilogy,can you send me a link?

I have a Paasche double action & it's nice, but when I switched to an Iwata BC-S Eclipse (I think), it was night & day. Way finer lines & much easier to control. I'll never go back to the Paasche.
Mind you, I was using it for scale models & I haven't built one in years.

Pinwillie I ordered that airbrush from my paint supplier . They arranged for the Sata rep to come to our shop so we demo them. I think a Mac tools salesman can sell them as well .

oh no a siphon feed air brush. You gotta go with a gravity feed. It will save a lot of headaches.
As far as paints, the new model air and game air ranges are quite nice. I don't think they'd have an issue with auto clear over it. I've done it with cheap craft acrylic paints.

Acually going with siphon feed saves me a bunch of headaches . All my paints are in bottles that the siphon feed top screws right onto , much less cleaning involved with a color change. Haven't had any issues with the siphon feeds I have used yet.
