| Subject: | Gravity vs Siphon fed airbrushes |  |
| Date: | Jun 1, 2006 |
| From: | dominic miele | |
| ok, i'm asking a bunch of questions, but i've never thought about my airbrush before. i'm using a Paasche VL, and it sucks, or i suck (operator error, anyone?). so i'm looking around for something better, and i hear good things bout Iwata. but what difference does the gravity feed make vs siphon feed? i've avoided gravity feed simply because i hate the idea of running out of paint and having to add more during the painting, or mixing up another batch and it not matching! but do the pros outway the cons? does gravity feed give better paint flow? my Paasche spatters horribly, and i dont know why. i try thinning, thickening, adjusting the pressure, maybe its globbing up, but i can't get a good feathered edge, its horrid. is this a symptom of the siphon feed or should i be straining the paint better? |
