Air Brush Opinions

True story: I go to a friends house every friday nite to help build his layout with others who go for the same purpose. His staging yards were installed which included painting the tracks so a call went out for air brushes. Two Passches were brought along with my inferior Azteck; we were using acrylic paint. The Passches would spray for about three minutes, then plug. It was a big problem. I kept saying, lets use my brush as I have an acrylic tip that should work fine. After about an hour of frustration, they decided to give my brush a try. It sprayed through out the night without getting plugged. The tip has a special needle that clears it when you press down. <br /> <br />When it came time to clean the brushes, I sprayed the cleaning fluid recommended throught the brush for about 30 - 45 seconds and I was done cleaning the brush. The Passche guys spent about 20 minutes cleaning their brush. <br /> <br />The Azteck can't get no respect because it didn't come in chrome. Now there is a more expensive chrome one available to impress all your friends. I can't see spending the extra money for chrome when the plastic works quite fine. Every once in a while some one tries to convince me that the plastic will break. I remind them that football helmuts are made out of plastic and to break one of those suckers requires more impact than a brush will ever go through.
