I had a long chat with the sales guy actually. Airbrush and compressor Q&A. That was my 1st question posed. He said go to their office in Segambut.

Maybe thats why I could not find any Iwata stuff in KL town shops.

i call the iwata shop at segambut just now..
they mention some price airbrush purposely for hobby one..
from RM400-RM650

now you all should understand why the sales person dont want to layan coz suddenly so many ppls call up and ask the same question. maybe he thought you all just playing around.

haha and that include you la..

so iwata is the best brand izzit?
that sparmax available at VA ok or not?
was thinking to get that one

Huh? I already posted all the info for you guys mah. For sure the sales man with people asking the same questions again and again.

yeah certainly one of the best around.i think sparmax would be ok,but dun see any pro painters reccomending it.the thing is,with cheaper brushes,paint may clogs n get a bit stuck.this always happens with the cheap brush.but with iwata,people say they're so smooth n sprays nicely.so in my mind,spending the little extra money will be better in the long run

i saw tamiya sell sparmax mini compressor for rm559
whats the different between mini and normal compressor?

as u can guess from the name ,SIZE

guys.....my pieces of advices

for those new to Airbrush, getting a china make AB for a starter will be a wise move. the function and out put is the same, and having a good care of the AB will also last u for a long period of AB joyness.

those branded AB like iwata, olympus, badger are welknown for their brand name and originality, where those taiwan or china make is a copy cat version of it...

for example, the champion on the gunhdam seed competition helb in midvalley june this year, he use the china make AB as well, the result and effect come out great...so y force yourself to get a branded AB while u are still new to this gadget...

for compressor, it's the term that "wat u paid is wat u get"...

those compressor with 3 gallon tank is merely for industry used, like those for bicycle shop or motor shop to pump air....if u r planning to put that compressor in your room, be prepare to kena a GOOD 1 for your housemate or family...coz it gonna be very very noisy....

then for those baby or mini compressor, these will be the most suitable for our modeler as they are less noise and small...but u cant use it for long hour as the compressor will keep on pump when it's on, so chance of overheating is there...but for a modeler this will really be a most suitable compressor coz we dun want to get too much of the paint fume, so a break after 1/2 painting session is recommended...

this is the noise level for iwata cheapest range of compressor....price range at rm650+



their most expensive AB....RM690+

where did u get te iwata airbrush???


i think ur advice make sense,sunnyboy.now i'm considering getting the sparmax brush ezCISS posted a few days ago (selling at Venus Artwork) n oso getting the small sparmax compressor(also selling at VA).actually,the sparmax brush n compressor would cost almost the same as an Iwata Eclipse CS with a 3 gallon tank compressor.Maybe i'll try the Sparmax first and when i got money from my Rc bodyshell painting business,can upgrade to Iwata.thanks for the advise sunnyboy

not a problem...however, i had a fren just bought the AB set frm grafiti in timesquare..

so far so good for the compressor, it hav a auto kill off function when the compressor not in use, even with the power on...not a bad choice also

the iwata AB not mine la, just a sample AB in Iwata office, i take the pic using my hp....

does it pulse air??? coz the tank is small

office???where???at Wilayah Persekutuan izzit???

wat is pulse air?

iwata office at gombak

same as u said:

the compressor will keep on pump when it's on

oic...it stop when u didnt pull the trigger....

huh??just wanna noe if the sparmax compressor would run for about 2-3 hours straight
