Air Brushes

[GavinP]

I am considering purchasing a air brush largely to do trim work on boats.

I have a mixture of paints I would like to use ranging from K&B to autopaint and also finishing lacquor.

I had earlier purchassed a Pasche airbrush and compressor.The K&B paint wouldn't go through it despite adding thinner to the point the paint became like water.

I did try different needles and nozzles with no change in results with the K&B and autopaints

I was considering and have been recommended to get a Badger 150.

Will this handle the K&B paints and autopaints or will I have the same frustrations as the Pasche?

Any tips and comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for that.I had read the other information on airbrushes but have been confussed between the Badger and the Iwata.

I needed a good recommendation like yours.

Up until a few weeks ago I used a Binks Wren C single action airbrush exclusively for airplanes, my Scale Hydro, Sport Gas Whiplash and numerous smaller boats. This for complete paint jobs not just trim. True, the paint had to be thinned to near water consistancy but it did a very good job. It just took a little longer. I thinned the paint till a drop off of my mixing stick didn't have a trailer behind it when it came off the stick.
