Review: Airbrush - Perfect, brilliant product
Review: I have used Badger air brushes for almost 30 years... specifically the 200 and 150. They are good solid airbrushes amd they work generally quite well. A friend showed me his Iwata (not the Eclipse featured here), and I was impressed by the overall quality. And this got me thinking: what have I been missing? Keep in mind there are Chinese knock-offs being sold that are only a fraction of the price of the "true" Iwata. What I am about to report on my Iwata does not apply to these. The airbrush was delivered within the predicted time with no problems whatsoever. First, the overall fit and finish is flawless. This high-quality chrome finish is also present inside the airbrush, where it is extremely important. This airbrush is by far the easiest to clean of any that I have used or owned. Paint residue simply does not stick to the inside; most of it comes off by just blowing solvent through the airbrush. The front end of the airbrush comes apart in four small pieces. This allows full access to the air and paint passages, as well as full access to the bottom of the colour cup. I use disposable mascara brushes for cleaning, and they successfully reach and clean out all passages. Secondly, the two-way control is easier and more predictable to use than the Badger 150, mostly because the back-and-forth travel is slightly longer. The spray pattern of the Eclipse is also very sensitive to air pressure changes, so spraying close at 10 psi gives a significantly wider pattern than doing so at 5 psi. (I use a shop Makita compresoor, which has a very good regulator allowing small air pressure changes. This system also has a moisture trap.). For the first time, I have been able to spray moderately-thinned paint in a very narrow pattern - a real asset when painting model aircraft. I can do this without the typical activity of changing to a fine tip amd needle. This is a saving of money, as well as time. Third, this airbrush is heavier than a Badger, which makes for steadier control. At higher pressure, it does not kick back when the trigger is pushed. And fourth, being a top-feed airbrush, one can spray paint that is less-thinned, making coverage better, and, if needed, thicker. Yet, very thin paint can be sprayed successfully as well. Some have criticized the top-feed design because the colour cup blocks the view when doing up-close work. I have found this not go be the case Simply view the work from the side! Some suggestions: when dismantling the front end of the airbrush for cleaning, be very careful to keep track of the four small parts that make up the nozzle. Lose any one of them and the airbrush is out of commission. Secondly, I suggest getting the Iwata cleaning station. This not only acts as a safe "dump" for waste paint and solvent coming from the airbrush, but also is a secure parking station. This second point is quite important... you frequently have to put the airbrush down, and it needs to be steady. If you don't, the weight of the airhose alone is enough to pull the airbrush off the table, and it will invariably hit the floor nozzle-first, doing significant and expensive damage to the front end (been there and done it!). The cleaning station also holds the airbrush at the right angle so you can more easily put paint in the colour cup. Overall, this is a painting instrument of high quality that will give satisfaction from the outset as well as superb paint application. For me, the greatest advantages are the amount of paint control it provides and the ease of cleaning. No wonder those who own it swear by it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can I use 200 grit al2o3 to sandblast a 5mm surface at 100 psi  for 10 seconds with this?**
A: You sure can!  I use it to apply stucco to large house exterior walls.  It clogged at first but once I cleared out the jets with a good sized drill bit, it’s better than new.  I’m don’t baby my tools.  I never clean it.  I just let it soak in a bucket with the trowels and knives and it still works great! A+++++

**Q: Is this gun an original iwata hp cs eclipse? how is it different from this more expensive one without the cord, cleaner, and solution? https://www.ama**
A: As far as I can tell, there’s no difference.  An hp cs Eclipse is an hp cs eclipse.  I know a number of people with this airbrush, and they are all the same, although there are and have been different packaging offers with various accessories.

**Q: What's the best way to keep this from eroding?**
A: Do not let your airbrush sit in window/windex cleaner other than when you are cleaning your airbrush. the ammonia within the windex will eventually eat away at the finish leaving potholes on the finish of your airbrush.

**Q: Can you use this with canned propellant?**
A: Yes, of course you can. If you don't do that much painting, it's certainly an option instead of buying a compressor, until you can afford one. If that's the extent of your use, you might consider a less expensive brush though. This one might be considered overkill for painting with canned propellant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 1 February 2024*

I'm new to airbrushing and started with a cheap $40 airbrush. It was good to learn maintenance, setup, and troubleshooting. I loved it and thought it was fantastic, until I tried this brush. The iwata eclipse is on another level, it seems like it will take any paint you can throw at it, I've managed to use unthinned model paint without any issues. The biggest pros over the cheap airbrush is the far fewer clogs and feed issues, the repeatable performance, and the responsiveness. I can paint an entire color without having to stop to clean or tweak without any issue and it is not picky at all about the paints and mixes you use. I had given up on using certain paints I had in my airbrush until i tried them with this, they all spray great. It gives a good spray pattern the whole time and doesn't degrade within a few minutes necessitating a clean. Unlike the cheaper brush even the tiniest of inputs on the paint flow "trigger" and you get flow, with the cheap one I had to open it 3/4 of the way before I got any paint. Overall, I would recommend this to beginners. I'm sure all the problems I've had are user error but that's what makes the eclipse great, it makes up for your shortcomings and just performs. It makes learning airbrushing alot better when you don't have to spend most of your time cleaning, mixing paint to just the right consistency, and troubleshooting. With the eclipse I'm spending my time actually painting.
