Gravity or siphon fed?

[Guest]

Drew.

Not sure if other types have one but the Harder & Steenback Evolution Gravity brushes are supplied with clip on caps which fit on to both sizes of cups they supply.

The revolution CR also has a cap but I never used it and never had any splashes, the only time I had a problem was when turned it upside down and for got it had paint in

Solution?

Gravity feed, three interchangeable cups, Small, medium and family car respray massive, three needle / nozzle / caps

I have one it's my main use brush, is very good and the cheapo gravity one I got with my compressor kit does for backup and spraying cellulose.

I very very rarely use my siphon fed brush, one thing not mentioned is you'll need a slightly higher pressure for the siphon fed due to it having to suck the p[aint up the emulsion tube rather than it flowing down via gravity and atmos pressure.

However, each to their own, the siphon brushes are perfectly useable, the jars plentiful and cheap and the one bonus with them if you like to mix and store paints you can do it in the jars and then just give it a shake, screw on the cap, plug in and go, a lot of custom AB artists use them for this reason too, they can fit createx or similar bottles straight to the brush.

Gravity wins hands down it's the only way to go.

My 2 cents, Gravity is the only way.

I have recently I now have a small cup good quality fed airbrush and a cheap ebay large plastic cup brush on quick releases. It would be easy enough to just throw a few drops into the larger if you only want 1 airbrush.

If the budget allows i highly recommend the cleaner pots (see below) they have made cleanup much easier and less smelly (especially w things like alclad)

Yes this is a great little cleaning station and air brush holder an essential.
