Paasche VL.

It come w/ 3 tips/needle combinations to handle anything from watercolor to latex. You can also get up to a 3oz jar for it (great for holding thinner/cleaner). It is a dual action brush w/ very good control. I've had one for over 20 years & never regreted it for a second. I can spray anything from 1/32nd" line to about 2" pattern.

Hi Ed,

I have an Iwata "Eclipse" airbrush and I'm really happy with it. I've used latexes and enamels through it and it works great. Watered down Mr. Clean is great for cleaning up when using latexes.

Well, I guess that leaves me to speak up for the Badger. I am presently using a crescent 175 dual action. I have been using badgers for about 20 years. Mine came with 3 tips,3 needles, 3oz jar and 1 oz cup. Although I have never used the Paashe, they have been around forever as well, and I have only heard good things about them and the Iwata. With an airbrush, as most things, if you buy quality and take care of it, it will last a very long time.
