Which Airbrush Should I Buy For BEGINNERS ?

💥 Cheap Vs Branded Airbrush - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIPYqX6rlK5lbbs

[@thefenrisianssweatshop]

For those on a budget, but want a good beginner airbrush, the Neo for iwata, is a great entry level brush I use for models and art to this day alongside an harder and steenbeck evolution.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Yes, agreed the Neo is also a great option however the parts aren't as durable and if you split the nozzle then its costly to replace, hence why I prefer the CS or even the revolution series.

[@thefenrisianssweatshop]

@@AirbrushAsylum this is true even in the uk. I have industry contacts from when I owned a model shop and yeah…. But treat it right and it’ll serve ya well. I’ve only ever replace a needle and a single nozzle. In five years, and the needle was entirely my own fault for not being careful,

[@Eteric]

GSI Creos Mr. Airbrush Procon Boy PS-270 or the 289 are awesome. They're also fairly affordable.

[@csh5414]

Agree, I love them. I found H and S too finicky for modelling, spent more time cleaning it than spraying.

[@willyrivero470]

Definitely you're the one when you need something to learn about airbrushing. You cover in detail and clearly explained all you need to know. As always, I thank you greatly for your videos!

[@AirbrushAsylum]

No probs at all, happy you enjoy my vids and find them helpful 😉🙏

[@henrybrown1333]

Your videos are very helpful and appreciated thankyou very much

[@PhotogNT]

I’ve gotten myself an Iwata HP CS. It’s still in its box I must get around to unboxing and giving it a try. Mainly for scale modelling now I’ve retired I have the time to indulge hobbies.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Definitely unbox it, the CS is such a great brush it will serve you well. Enjoy your retirement and have fun airbrushing.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

You chose wisely!

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

I started with a siphon feed Badger 150 then decided to try gravity feed, which is much better for my use. So I ordered a Master Airbrush kit, did not like the mechanics of it, the needle didnt not move in and out correctly. Then I got a Iwata HP BS, which works awesomely but I found the .7 ml cup was a pita to deal with on larger projects. So I got a Ultra 2 n 1, I liked the larger cup but the friction fit cup was not great. So I FINALLY bit the bullet and bought a Iwata HP CS and never looked back. It does everything I need very well, easy to mix in the cup and lays down paint like a boss. I would say, buy once, cry once, get a good one right off the bat and you will end up saving alot of time, money and frustration.

[@mr.dunnsartclass3240]

Thanks! I think I'll go with the GSI CREOS. As an art teacher I cant believe I have never air brushed before. This is going to be fun! Now, what paint do I want? I heard cheep paint can clog you brush more often.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

The GSI Creos is a fantastic choice, in regards to paint I like using trident airbrush paint and Createx illustration colors, stay away from really cheap paint as you are correct that it can clog your brush and also they don’t flow very well and you will spend half the time straining your paint and wasting so much of it whereas good airbrush paint will last you for years 😉👍🏻 hope that helps

[@davidlang4442]

For crying out loud. Bend the suction hose towards the front of the bottle so it will remain in the paint as you tilt the bottle and gun...If it's not long enough, replace it with longer plastic hose.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

fair enough ! thanks for the info

[@remcob8892]

the art on that tank in the bankground looks really cool

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank you, it was a promo tank that I airbrushed quite a while ago, I used some of Brian Frouds artwork as inspiration everything else was just done freehand.

[@Ivy-ne9zw]

I’m gonna be throwing a party later this year and have a T shirt decorating table. I will only need the airbrush “kit” for one day. Do you have an affordable recommendation that will make it through one afternoon of heavy use?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

I do love the iwata eclipse HPCS or BCS if you want a suction feed instead however they are not that cheap. You could also look at the revolution HP.BCR (suction) or CR (gravity) they are also great for heavy use . Other than that a Chinese brush like gaahleri ghad-68 will work or you could look at the Taiwanese sparmax brushes. Hope that helps 👍🏻👍🏻

[@leegtracer3763]

I'm basically new to airbrushing and the harder and steenbeck silverline 2 in 1 is great. 0.2 and 0.4 needles in the box with the option to get 0.15 and 0.6 needle's and nozzles. Can also be used with non acrylic paints like enamel without damage.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

It sprays well and the mechanics are super smooth, but the friction fit cup was a down side for me.

[@LCRRcreed]

Is there a kit you can recommend for a total beginner? Needing the airbrush and a compressor

[@AmadeusLarsjos]

hi good video wonder in case i want other types of needle "is it possible to use other needle in an air brush that had only one in the beggining?" and if so "where can i buy the needle and nozle?"

[@paulhaynes1314]

Hi there, im looking at buying my first airbrush ( no experience), how important is the MAC valve, do I really need one for my first airbrush? I have a local model shop that supplies FINEART 180X and the 186AK I’m looking at as it comes in a set, some HARDER & STEENBECK but are very pricey and they haven’t got the new 2024 ULTRA which supposed to be good for beginners Advice would be grateful

[@AirbrushAsylum]

As it is your first airbrush, the MAC valve isn't essential. It is handy as you can overthin your paint and lower your psi however you need good control to really optimise its performance. I would suggest looking at an airbrush that has a 0.3 or 0.35mm nozzle and something that feels comfortable when you hold it, as some brushes are heavier than others and comfort is a factor that is often overlooked as most people just buy online. Hope that helps 😉

[@paulhaynes1314]

Right now I’ve finished my night shift I can watch the video before I go to sleep 😊 Ok thank you for the reply, I thought the same as I didn’t want to over complicate things as I start, rightly or wrongly during my shift I ordered the FENGDA BD -130K, I chose it as it comes as a set inc 1/8” hose, 0.2 0.3 & 0.5 needles then I intend to buy a compressor with a tank, air filter and pressure adjuster I will start watching you videos for tips etc and see how I get on then upgrade the gun as I feel more confident, problem I have here in Hungary there’s no shops I can handle them for comfort fit first only order online and go collect, again thank you for the reply I’ve subscribed so I can catch up with some homework ☺️

[@frankartale1026]

Best airbrush for anyone... is the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS or SBS . The Eclipse uses a dual taper .35 needle. This makes it more durable and aids in finer lines. Also, the .35 nozzle and head assembly are actually converting the the air pressure inside the gun. This is why iwata can atomize paint at much lower air pressure than all others. Also just as important for successful airbrush work, is your paint reduction and your aircompressor. It must have a holding tank or you will get paint pulsation in your finer paint lines. There are alot of well made airbrushes on the market, but they simply do not have the technology that iwata does. (other than the discontinued and original, Olympos)

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Fantastic explanation really appreciate you sharing and I agree the iwata hp.cs is a brush that will perform for years and years 👍🏻👍🏻

[@69generalleegirl]

The eclipse airbrush is a bit pricey for me any suggestions on a different one I got the avanti kit but the airbrush doesn't work so looking for a better brush

[@frankartale1026]

@@69generalleegirl the old iwata hp-b used on ebay is around 80. I have bought a few used airbrushes on there with no issue. Just long as there are good picture you should be ok. The hp-c is usually a little more. But there is big difference. Iwata is in a different league honestly

[@airbrushdungeon]

I couldn't disagree with you more. "This is why iwata can atomize paint at much lower air pressure than all others" Not true. You have a bad case of brand purism. The Micron is the pinnacle of airbrushes, but the Creos PS-771 is said to spray exactly like one. I never used a Micron so I don't know how true that is, but I can't imagine it performing any better than my 771. The Badger Sotar 20/20 can atomize paint better and at much lower pressures than an Eclipse, hands down. My Eclipse rarely gets used. Throw down a little extra and get an Iwata HP-C plus for a first brush that will do everything, and make you better. But if you paint models and minis, grab the new H&S Ultra for 120 bucks. It was made with what you do in mind.

[@frankartale1026]

@@airbrushdungeon I see how it seems like i'm a brand purist. I'm not. I have used all these different airbrushes. I 've owned them all. I had the sotar 20 years ago and again 5 yrs ago along with h&s etc... iwata eclipse hp-cs and sbs are a much better design and performer. We can agree to disagree. I guess it all depends what u spray and your use case. As far as the sotar 20/20. That thing is a goofball airbrush. I really don't like it.

[@jasonnester9514]

I have a super cheap airbrush and it works better than my high end ones

[@AirbrushAsylum]

thats awesome you are lucky to get one that performs so well 😉

[@ang3lttz508]

What is the brand name

[@bigsparky65]

I have 3 airbrushes that i use, I have 2 Iwatta, 1 Tallon. All are double action, gravity feed.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Nice collection 👍🏻🤩

[@malcolm4k270]

Can you recommend an airbrush kit? Just got into 3d printing and I wanna air brush my models. Nothing too expensive

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Take a look at the sparmax Max 3, Iwata HP.CN Neo or Gaahleri GHAC-98D hope that helps👍🏻

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

Hey buddy I emailed you pics of my needle ! And thank you for answering me I’m so excited to show my family you answered me !! Thanks again for all your help! Your the best!!

[@tennentssuppa]

The tube/lid arrangement fits straight onto Tamiya 10ml bottles. Not a lot of people know that. 😀

[@juliehodges4755]

Hi there thank you for your video first one I've ever watched about airbrushing as an encaustic wax/ oil paint with a trowel artist it is the opposite of my type of art.... but I really want to airbrush my designer handbags when I am re-colouring them. So it would just be one colour going over the top of canvas or leather, so I think I would go for that single button use ,gravity filler one? thank you to your info and I will now look at the cheap versus branded... If you see this post and feel like recommending an airbrush that would be appreciated

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thank for your kind words and glad you enjoyed my vid 🙏🏻 even though a single action brush would work fine (you could look at the Paasche H) if you do decide to go for a single action ? That said keep in mind a double action (once you get the feel for it) is SO much more versatile , it will allow you to still easily airbrush flat colours, but also easily add effects and later on you could also do artwork. Not saying you can’t do that with a single action, but I find the double action will give you a brush that will be able to do it all…if you are tempted by a double action then the Iwata HP.CS eclipse is fantastic or you could take a look at the GSi Creos PS.289 . **Here are a few Amazon affiliate links, meaning we receive a small commission for any qualifying sales - Iwata HP.CS : geni.us/hpcseclipse (ON AMAZON) GSI Creos PS.289 : geni.us/ps289 (ON AMAZON) Paasche H set : geni.us/paascheHset (ON AMAZON) Hope that helps 👍🏻🤩

[@juliehodges4755]

Thank you much appreciated ...I can't ever imagine I would want to do art work with airbrushes it's just not my style but for spray painting over stencils on bags or just re-colouring them I would be using the Angelus water based leather paint which I can thin down :)@@AirbrushAsylum

[@CFster]

Just a point. The air doesn’t actually propel or push the paint out. It sucks it out from the from of the nozzle via the Bernoulli principle.

[@AirbrushAsylum]

thanks appreciate it 😉

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

I need help I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND I LEARNED SO MUCH!! I’m just a beginner and I bought a siphon feed and on my Iwata the needle is plain but on my siphon feed there is a nut on the end of my needle it looks like a attachment with a ball on the top and my back handle it’s cut away what is that ball end for ?? Please help a new fellow air gunner from getting an mental breakdown ! Thank you !! Your awesome lol Sincerely …. Marc

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Thanks for your kind words re ; my vids, the nut on the rear is the 'needle locking nut' it needs to be tight otherwise your airbrush wont spray paint, check out this vid which better explains it, hope that helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIGbdXynYr6mmcU

[@ELPADREAIRBRUSH]

@@AirbrushAsylum OMG first let me say it makes my day just to watch your art I could only hope to be as good as you someday I’m 50 yrs old and recently retired as a police officer and my wife said if I don’t get a hobby she’s gonna shoot me with my own gun so I started watching all your videos and your an absolute genius! I saw the video and I’m sending you a pic of my needle ! Cause I just not sure if we’re talking about the same thing brother I’ve only been doing this beautiful art for about a month ! And I just want my art to be the best I could do and I can’t deny all my techniques are a carbon copy of your style cause your style is not only amazing even if your not going for photo realism your paintings still look real even if your doing cartoon style it’s genius! So I’ll send you a pic and I just don’t know what it is ? They say it’s a OIL NUT FOR LINE THICKNESS?? and if anyone would know you will! Thank you again and thank you for just answering me I’m so excited to show my wife and kids you actually contacted me cause I drive my family nuts when you post a new video! I’m like a little kid on Christmas cause I can’t wait to learn more from you! Thank you again for all you do and show the world! 👍🏻❤️ Sincerely.. Marc

Question: In the middle of practicing to get used to the action. The paint stopped flowing through the nozzle. I did a thorough cleaning, and I still can not get paint to flow. Suggestions?

Thanks for your comment , I like the iwata HP.CS eclipse for all round airbrushing and it can also do detailing, you can also use the GSi Creos PS.289 which is a great brush I also like the sparmax SP.35 for detailing . I have vids on all these brushes and you can also find links to these products in the description of my videos hope that helps 👍🏻😉

is Master Airbrush a good brand

[@henrybrown1333]

How about Master brand

[@henrybrown1333]

I'm a first time don't no much a out any of this stuff so I'm hoping the set up brand master is OK wasn't that cheap still in box but got all of the stuff I need just wondering are the endorsement you are they sending you the items that you keep talking about in other words are they giving you the product for free and you mention there brand and just starting out where can I buy supplies wholesale like boards and t shirts I'm sure the more you buy the c cheaper they are what are the wholesalers so I can order stuff please and thankyou very much Henry brown

[@AirbrushAsylum]

I personally haven't used the master brand so I cant comment, however I know they are fairly popular on amazon so I would think they may even perform better than some of the really cheap models ?

[@AirbrushAsylum]

Hi there, not all videos are sponsored and in this case this video was not, I just demonstrated with my own brushes they were not gifted so that I would mention either brand, it is purely what I love using and can guarantee that they will last, as I have had and used them for years. If you are looking to purchase a cheaper brand not mentioned then definitely do some research here on YT, also keep in mind there are some other great options that are cheaper than the ones I mentioned, but also great brushes, Iwata Neo HP.CN, Iwata Revolution HP.CR and if you want siphon then the Paasche VL or Talon for gravity as well as Badger and Harder and Steenbeck also all make great brushes and all vary in pricing. If you are looking to get more info on the products that I mention, then check out the description of the video that you are watching as I have links listed there to related products, hope that helps.

[@henrybrown1333]

@AirbrushAsylum thankyou very much where can I get t-shirts for wholesale and what air brush Should I be getting in your opinion you have very good videos they are outstanding thankyou for you help and when will you have more live videos so I can watch them please

The airbrush is just a tool, it can be used to do all kinds of different projects. No use of the tool is anymore or less serious, just different.

[@omasbimboladen993]

I do not agree. Double action is a marketing scam. It is a reduced mechanism and as such cheaper for the producer without any advantage for the user. No car has double action throttle pedal for a reason. It would not pass any test whatsoever. Such cars would be forbiddes due to lack of control over the vehicle. Gaz and air are combined in any car with no double action needed whatsoever. Double action IS a marketing stunt. Do not fall for it.
