Amazon's BEST Airbrush for Beginners (Master G233 Review + Disassembly )

[@ksg_7]

That was very helpful, thank you!

[@AsimPaints]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@antongunther3977]

I started off with a cheap 30 airbrush kit. Cleaning it and painting with it was painful (I later found out that the cheap paint/coating would flake off and would clog the brush). It would always get clogged up no matter how well I cleaned it. Once I got one of the G22 and all of my problems are gone. I haven't had issues cleaning or painting at all.

[@AsimPaints]

That sounds like it was a pain. Glad to see the G22 is working well for you! Premium tools aren't always necessary, some times you just need it to work like it should lol.

[@DieTabbi]

Interesseting, as I see that the needle and nozzle same tiny as the other cheap chinise one. nothing different. So why should it spray better?

[@antongunther3977]

@@DieTabbi the size of the needle and nozzle might be the same. But the tolerance of the machining of the parts is what makes it spray better. The trigger alone feels like I can have much finer control.

[@Compliment_Thief]

Who makes the G22?

[@The_Eldest_Millenial]

TY for this. So many people go, "blah blah blah, every airbrush is the same" and then they don't have any of the parts that mine does and their vids don't help at all. Like, how do I use the quick d/c thingie? Should I use it? What's the advantage/disadvantage? LOL. I appreciate you being one of the few that put up a G233 Set (dis)assembly vid.

[@AsimPaints]

@@The_Eldest_Millenial thanks for the support!

[@yungpropaganda]

from a fellow printing enthusiast (and a frugal one) thanks for such an in depth review. gonna pull the trigger on this for sure

[@AsimPaints]

@@yungpropaganda thanks! Happy painting!

[@Compliment_Thief]

Thanks lil buddy. Looks like a nice bit of kit for the money!

[@johnmulligan9299]

Dude, great video. Please keep them coming!

[@AsimPaints]

Thanks so much! Will do!

[@darrellid]

I use this brush for primers and varnishes. Only complaint would be the trigger--it's not comfortable, especially during extended use sessions.

[@johnsaenz9254]

The best cheap airbrush from Amazon is Point Zero. Point Zero airbrushes are very very good airbrushes and are very fine detailed airbrushes and well made they are just as good as the Iwata airbrushes. I have almost all of them and they are as good as a Iwata Custom Micron and other Iwata and Badger airbrushes and can use automotive paint and thinner and does not harm the seals or the airbrushes. The Point Zero airbrushes are awesome

[@AsimPaints]

Oh wow they are cheap. Never heard of them, very interested. Might pick one up to test out.

[@way2sh0rt07grad]

A better airbrush i found was the Gaahleri. It comes with extra seals and lubricant along with breakdown instructions

[@rafaelbalcazar4983]

Great video Thank you! Can I use it to paint ceramics?

[@AsimPaints]

@rafaelbalcazar4983 thanks! It all depends on the type of paint really

[@SomeGuyInSandy]

So good, I bought two.

[@johnholmes6897]

The Iwata Neo wants to pull money from the cheaper companies. For $60-$70 you can have the great feel and build from Iwata . Granted , it's no Custom Micron, or an Eclipse but it's close enough to the Eclipse. The Master is good enough to practice with. Especially coming with 3 different sizes. Start with Master and if you need to have multiple guns , use NEO.

[@sneakyneaky]

If you order it from canada its priced at $91.78, and $91.36 for the single needle version

[@AsimPaints]

@@sneakyneaky that sucks lol

[@deputy3690]

Great video! Do you sell any of your 3D prints? I am interested in learning what I need and how to 3D print the exact figures you print. A how to 3D video would be great to see also.

[@AsimPaints]

Thanks! I do sell my prints! Check out some of my painted project videos to get an idea on the process. In the description I have a ton of tools I recommend, but I'll do a in depth beginners video on exactly how to 3d print and paint your own figures.

[@darthkek1953]

Worth the extra few tenners for a H&S Ultra.

[@Dude_Slick]

Completely agree. If you get a good G233 it can be a great brush, but they just don't have the quality assurance to know what you're buying is quality like an H&S product.

[@mr.midnight7423]

So i bought the exact same kit just when i started airbrushing. It was dissapointing actually. One of the tip broke on the 3 day when i tried to change it to the 5mm needle. It took me an hour to get the screw end of the tip out of the airbrush. A few weeks ago i started to airbrush again. I do notice tho that the chrome finish starts to fall off on the paint cup. Def wouldnt recommend it, tho it is good for a throwaway airbrush or to just use as a priming tool!

[@AsimPaints]

Sorry to hear about your bad luck! Bad quality control can happen with brand name stuff, but I imagine the chances of bad quality passing inspection occurs more often with cheap brands like this one.

[@williammoore6952]

My airbrush is new. Do I need to remove the spring and trigger assembly to change tip sizes? Thanks William

[@AsimPaints]

You don't need to remove them completely, just loosen the needle chuck to take out the needle, swap it with the new needle size along with the tips.

[@williammoore6952]

@@AsimPaints cool, thanks for the info I needed.

[@Damien_Eros]

100% disagree with disavowed the 60-70 range. The ps-289 can be had for around $75 and is amazing and comparable to airbrushes that are much more expensive.

[@AsimPaints]

Should have specified I was referring to off brand stuff. Mr.Hobby/Creos is a great brand!

[@Damien_Eros]

@@AsimPaints It's a fantastic brand. These new guys gaahleri supposedly make a decent brush around that mark but I don't think it would be up to the ps-289 standards. It would be nice if we start to see more quality budget brushes though.

[@gruvin4602]

Not sure have to look it up or call

[@lodollar23]

Do you think the seals will hold up with urethane? I need to fix a ding in my car

[@AsimPaints]

It should be fine as long as you're cleaning it out pretty quickly after using it.

[@rakenajyzas7625]

Do you know what materials are used to fill gaps when connecting model parts? and when painting, is it necessary to apply a coat of paint before applying color? If so, please tell me the names of those materials.

[@AsimPaints]

There are quite a few options to fill gaps! Bondo spot putty, Mr. Surfacer 500, wood filler, two part epoxy clay, miliput, Tamiya putty, you can cure 3d print resin or uv resin with a uv flashlight, and so much more. Just keep in mind most of these products are meant for shallow fills, so for larger gaps either use epoxy clay or do repeated thin layers instead of trying to fill it all at once. And before painting, once the parts are prepped, you want to use primer. You can get spray paint primer, or if you plan on using airbrush paints each manufacturer will have primer.

[@shawnxevious5470]

what is the "male quick disconnect adapter for" exactly? I simply don't need it if I connect to my Cool Runner? Sorry to ask you but no one else's video even called it by its correct name. =)

[@AsimPaints]

@@shawnxevious5470 I said male, but meant male/female. Male end attaches to the airbrush, female to the compressor hose. Allows you to release the airbrush from the hose without having to unscrew anything

[@doro626]

Jefe. What's a plethora?

[@AsimPaints]

Noun, an excessive amount of something. Overabundance.

@@doro626 right over my head lol

[@kennedysamarakody4925]

Ngl, the reason I am looking into airbrush is because I got into 3D printing as well. My main question is, do I need an air compressor/pump attached to this one to spray paint?

[@AsimPaints]

Yes, you will need an air compressor with an air tank to use this. I linked a very good but cheap on in the description of this video! I've been using it for three years, multiple different airbrushes, with no issues! Just make sure you get one with an air tank, not just the compressor alone.

[@gruvin4602]

On the rubbers they need lubes of some kind or ur trigger adjustment will bind and u will wreck the seal

[@AsimPaints]

Thanks for the tip!

[@davidbeppler3032]

Always oil your seals.

[@gruvin4602]

I now know this😮😂😂

[@gruvin4602]

Anther thing I learned with this brush is take the time to learn how to polish ur needles as these ones that come with it need it bad and if done right u will see the results and ur brush will function so much better😊

[@Andyrewk]

Where you been homie

[@AsimPaints]

I'm alive!

[@NeoPest]

as good a deal that is it is still a pretty low quality airbrush. i know, i own 2 lol. there are some improvements to be made that make it spray much better like replacing needle and nozzle for gsi/iwata but these cost approximately enough to just get a $74 gsi ps-289 instead and youdontl have the manufacturing tolerance and finish issues the master line has. but that doesnt come with any accessories and that only has one needle you say? yep and it is a great needle that will spray just about any sized dot with just about any paint every time you pick it up as the master will on its best day with a perfectly thinned and finely ground pigmented paint. and speaking of dot size and accessories you can actually put the .2 needle and nozzle and cap from the ps-270 in the ps-289 and if you're really feeling paint hungry you can throw an iwata .5 needle and nozzle set from an iwata neo in there and get all the size options with a fantastic action that will last forever if maintained. and i know this is gonna bump the cost up 40 more dollars but you did say a premium alternative would be over 100 so :) but even if someone still has to buy a master, at least buy the iwata nozzle wrench as it will save your airbrush when the nozzle eventually breaks off sideways with the threads still locked in the end of the gun with dried paint resins due to the crappy little spanner wrench they include (oh and um also buy one of these if you get an iwata or a gsi as they also come with crappy wrenches hehe) and last but most important : buy a steel mesh drain basket to go in your sink drain because when that nozzle falls it always goes down there and if water is running it will get swept over the p trap and you'll be ordering a new one.

[@AsimPaints]

Thanks for the in-depth reply. I think you're failing to realize this is meant to be used a starter airbrush. For the price, of course the quality is not going to be up to par with name brands like Mr.Hobby/Creos or Iwata. But this is an excellent deal for someone who can't afford to spend the money on something more premium. You have to consider a beginner isn't just looking at an airbrush, but a compressor, paints, cleaners, and potentially a spraybooth. All that adds up, so even if there are exceptions to the +$100 idea, like the Pro-con boy (which I plan on getting), that difference in money can make or break someone's budget. Sounds like you didn't have a great experience with this brand, but as someone who's used it consistently for two years it works very well and I stand by my recommendation.

[@deadrem]

​@@AsimPaintsYeah, that's exactly my scenario. Of course I'd much prefer getting a better product, but the fact of the matter is I'm too broke to justify spending too much money on something I'm not even sure I'll actually enjoy doing. I made the mistake of buying the cheapest airbrush+compressor on amazon a while ago which turned into a nightmare for me (thankfully the store kindly sent me an immediate refund after I wrote a review), so I'm just trying to do some research and get something that at least has a reputation, replacement parts, and community support.

[@AsimPaints]

@@deadrem yeah those bundle starter sets are never worth it, just get everything separately. I linked in the description the compressor I've been using for three years and it's under $80!

[@cybelisk1526]

The seals are junk - the brush is only for acrylics unless you feel like messing with beeswax.

[@AsimPaints]

I haven't had issues with the seals, but I've only exclusively used acrylics. Though I've cleaned it with lacquer thinner and acetone without creating any issues. But yeah, beginners are probably going to stick with acrylics anyway.

[@Dude_Slick]

The problem with Master is one of consistency. This brush is basically a knockoff of the Iwata HP-C. It is possible to get an excellent brush, but not assured. I feel that a beginner should have a more proven tool. If I get a brush that is not up to snuff, I can dial it in and get decent results. that same problematic brush in the hands of a novas will only serve to frustrate. Wit a proven brand, you know any issues are likely you and you will be less likely to rage quit.

[@MM-tt3np]

More like $170

[@jebstuart1323]

These brushes are absolute garbage! If you can get 1 use out of them consider yourself lucky. Cheapest chrome known to man is used if thats even what it is. Solvent paints quicken its demise. Keep saving your money until you can buy anything name brand.

[@AsimPaints]

I've been using it for two years and have had no issues, but I've exclusively used acrylics with it. I imagine the vast majority of beginners aren't going to jump to lacquer right away, so assuming that it works fine with acrylics I think it's great for beginners.

[@andymckenzie8031]

I'm very much a beginner, but I've been using mine for about 6 weeks, two or three evenings a week. I haven't had any trouble I could attribute to the brush, just to my not cleaning it well enough early on.

[@framespergames811]

kinda pointless to state a beginers airbrush, but avoid stating people need to pay out for the device that you need for it to work,

[@AsimPaints]

Not sure what you mean... This isn't a everything you need to know about airbrushing video, it's a review on a specific airbrush. Did I need to specify you also need to buy paint and a spray booth lol?
