I only rely on an airbrush made of metal! it is easier to fix, and more durable than an aztek plastic airbrush. i had (actually still have) an aztek airbrush that worked fine the first one or two times and then continously got worse. OK they have a lifetime warranty but only if the airbrush was unopened. But guys, murphys law § 2, the airbrush breaks only when you need it most! And who wants to wait for a new airbrush.
I have an entire metal airbrush by a german manufacturer, it is reliable, when it is dirty i can disassemble it and it will work fine.
I get a maintnance by the manufacturer on a model show i visit every year and that is the best solution for me.
Ok, what i want to say is: the aztek airbrush inner parts are made of plastik. The nozzles are made of plastic. And plastic wears down more than metal, so the result will probably be that results will get worse if the airbrush is used often.
I have only heard good comments about Iwata and Paasche. I do not want to talk too bad about the Aztek. Mine worked fine at the beginning, but i had increasing problems after a short while.
The decision is with you....choose wisely.
