Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 29, 2015 Super User Posted March 29, 2015 Do you prefer gravity, or siphon air brushes? Why? Finally decided to buy an air brush to paint my crankbaits. I'm curious which one is best. Quote
junyer357 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Gravity. My go to all around brush is an eclipse cs. with the small amound of color and often color changes in painting lures its much easier with a smaller gravity feed. The only time i ever use my siphon feed eclipse is if im basecoating or priming a lot of lures at once. With my gravity i often just drop a few drops of paint directly into the cup and paint away.

Chad L Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I absolutely agree with junyer, ease of changing colors and also the amount of paint required. I have a couple bottle feeds and they work great for base coating a lot of lures at a time, but the gravity feed is much more precise and you can lower pressure and get more detail. I have both Iwata HP- C plus and CS, and one Paasche Talon with all 3 needle sizes. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted April 2, 2015 Author Super User Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks for your input. I've been leaning towards a gravity feed, but wanted to know how others felt. I make crankbaits from Red Cedar and Spanish Cedar. I've been painting them with rattle cans for eight years, with good results, but I'd like to get more detail. Falcon Quote
