I have a Paasche, Grex and a Badger. Different brushes for different uses. Badger does give a lifetime warranty on their guns. The Grex are quite pricey and are not widely distributed.
I don't have a dedicate compressor. I just use the shop compressor with the appropriate moisture trap and filter.
Thanks for this site. I have been going through his observations and like the site. I have a very old Badger that attached to canned air that I never used. Maybe it's time to see how frustrated I can get learning something new!
Learning to use mine I used some food coloring in water, can't get to much cheaper a media to use.
Looking at mine again I do remember that I did not like the adjuster. On mine it is hard for my fat fingers to get at the built in knurled adjuster in the handle that is just barely exposed . I had forgotten about that but ones I looked at it again that came back. The one my son had was much easier change.
Looking in the box I also seem to be missing the adapter to fit to larger hoses, the one for the canned air is attached. I will have to look at the area where the air compressor supplies are stored. If I remember right it is a red/black braided hose with the proper ends. If not it is another lost item in the shop.
