[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AntonioFP45 [:)][:D][8D]Have heard a lot of good opinions regarding the newer dual action Badgers. For Air Compressors, it's hard to beat the new quiet running units, also from Badger. [;)][^]I have a Paasche' VL series airbrush. Great performing unit that came with 3 different sized needles and caps. Price under $70. Dual action is the way to go![4:-)][tup] IMHO, comparing Badger and Paasche' is like comparing Toyota and Honda. Different models are available. All good quality. Remember that regardless which airbrush you purchase, it will turn into a piece of junk IF YOU DON'T CLEAN IT THOROUGHLY AFTER EACH USE! This includes carefully removing the needle, aircap, and bottle and wiping. If you use water based paints, flush your gun with a 50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol and wipe the above mentioned parts. For solvent paint, use lacquer thinner. After doing it 2 to 3 times, proper cleaning can be done in just a few minutes.[;)][8D][:D] Peace out! [;)] [/quote]I too have a Paasche VL series [:D]airbrush, and I concur, dual action is the way to go[:D][:D]....also can't say enough about cleaning, cleaning...cleaning!!! I have a craftsman 1.5hp 2 gallon compressor WITH a regulator, set at 20-35psi and it works better than any hobby compressor, and doesn't EVER freeze up, like "canned air". Good luck airbrushing, and don't forget to practice A LOT!!!
