On the one hand, it looks really useful for base coating scale model planes and cars. 😁 On the other hand, I primarily paint Gunpla. 😅 So I guess I'll pass on it.
Very useful for the guys who do skate decks and tumblers as well. But if I were doing gunpla id certainly not be looking at anything of this size. Maybe a 290 to bulk prime if you were bulk painting It would definitely be too much for that use.
We're you able to get the PPS adapter from spraygunner? I got my mini gun a few months ago and I love it, but hate cleaning the cup... not even spraygunner has done a video on this, I think you're the 1st.. thanks for the review
You need this adapter spraygunner.com/spray-guns/parts-and-accessories/disposable-cups-adapters/adapter-for-disposable-cup-adapter/?aff=15 And this adapter for pps1 spraygunner.com/spray-guns/parts-and-accessories/disposable-cups-adapters/no-name-disposable-cup-adaptor-for-minigun/?aff=15 #afflink For certain there is not a lot on reviews on this gun yet. It would have been nice to have one on the early release.
Great review, Bill!Just seen your shorts on the pps cups 2.0 fitting the ps290 great hack, by the way! Love pps system in particulary the 2.0) I won't go back to using regular cups. The one looks solid! Pretty good spray pattern! Thanks for sharing 👍
unfortunately the 2.0 wont hack into this cup.. But im leaving the 2.0 setup behind and going back to the old style because the 3 oz cups are too shallow to be useful. i realize a lot of folks wouldnt use a pps cup for small amounts of paint. because they are kinda expensive. But i like to keep my water based clears in a PPS cup.. Because well you get it who wants to clean cups :) They also sell an adapter for the 290 now. (i may sell my 290 after I get a .6 for this one.. but I still kinda love that brush) I would honestly not hesitate to paint a lot of stuff with this that I would normally use my lph 80 for.
Wow. My Grex is not even close to that gun. I have a heavy top and bottom and the bottom is not looking so good. The pattern looks like a barbell shape. This gun is sweet.
Dumbell shape spray patterns have 3 causes... Air pressure too high, fan pattern to wide or fluid volume too low. Since with these types of guns we cannot adjust the fan pattern, and presume we only turn up air high enough to achieve atomization.. It leaves us with one problem. Like MANY MANY spray pattern airbrushes. The grex suffers from the wrong type of needle for a spray gun type performance. Two things happen when the needle protrudes through the nozzle that are fighting against the entire purpose of a fan pattern. One your volume is partially blocked from the needle, even when fully retracted it is still choking off volume. Two as fluid follows the air as it closes in around the needle you are pulling the paint to a smaller diameter (which is why long tapered needles produce finer lines generally speaking) Of course THAT is at odds with spraying a wider pattern. Lower volume and room for pigments of course is at odds with spraying heavier paints .. like basecoating with pearls and such. Or heavy primers. Things you might be wanting to use a "large coverage" for. Of course when i mention those glaring defects people get touchy. With that all said, by far this gun has outperformed every other fan pattern airbrush i have tried. Even the gsi creos 290/ iwata wont compare if high volume coverage is what you are looking for. The TH2 and this are close... the TH atomizes a little finer perhaps. This has a slightly heavier coverage. FWIW i think the Tritium is massively overpriced.
Hey Dan it’s Marc I just wanted to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May god bless you and your family with health and wealth and happiness forever ! You helped me throughout this past year with all my dumb questions and helped me when I was ready to throw my airbrush across the room your advice helped me and now I know how to troubleshoot and you’ve made my airbrush paintings amazing ! I LOVE WHAT I DO ! And your the reason !! You taught me how to be patient and you reassured me it will get better and it did ! And at the end of the day your the reason I learned cause you took time just to text me back and talk to me your the only one who did ! And that is priceless to me ! But have an amazing Christmas and new year and just DAN THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ! For your help ! YOU ROCK ! 🤘🏻🤘🏻!! Forever your friend and student Marc ( aka EL PADRE AIRBRUSH )!
I need to review the 850.. but I don't want to buy it :0 I am mulling around the idea of showcasing a video on how to make those spray better. I have a knockoff of the 850 here. But im not 100% sure if the parts interchange.
Also be careful if you go to take that bigger nozzle piece off, I used me wrench from my hvlp and it chipped a section from the outer threads, the meatal is soft.. use a 17mm end wrench, the end that goes all the way around it to be safe.
I have not removed the head assembly. Ive pulled them off the procon boy 290 and a TH before and both times dinged them up.. They are all brass and if like those brushes on extremely tight.
I don't think any of the studio series compressors are strong enough to run this. You are going to need around 1.5 CFM or 44LPM to run one of these. I believe the power jet pro only delivers about .8CFM The second answer is yes these will work with solvents.
@@TheAIRspace could I maybe bother you will the problem I’ve got? So basically im looking for a trigger style airbrush with a fan cap. I do surface repair for a living & the company I work with it’s all very heavy gear & im tired of carrying all the overpowered equipment I just want something I can use with a small compressor that has a fan pattern that I can be more mobile with 😂

Looks a good midway sprayer. But I'll not be getting one by the looks of :- 'No delivery to this area'. Yet anyway !!!? 🤔 Thanks for the demo.

Does air brush have fumes? I want to paint something 6 inches wide 15 inches tall . Trying to get away from spray cans . Painting plastic
depends on the paint, but most waterbased airbrush paints are fairly low odor. you still want to use a mask for the overspray.

Thanks..I ordered those two! Was the other adapter the one that fits on the gsi creos gun?
There is an adapter for the GSI creos and Iwata TH but you need both ones I linked to adapt to a pps cup from the minigun.

Great review! Could this gun be used for body mask?
Antthing you need a nice wide spray.
I’ve used it for body paint, clear coats, primers and base coats on various projects
oh man that nozzle looks awesome
its very well designed and built. I absolutely love this thing.
its even bigger than th1
yes. the 290 is the same as the th1
Great review brother
Thanks!
I'm in!
if you got a need for this type of gun its fabulous.. i forgot to mention about half of a th2. :)
Please HELP. Would this run with the iwata studio series compressor & would the gun work ok with solvent based paints?
I don't think any of the studio series compressors are strong enough to run this. You are going to need around 1.5 CFM or 44LPM to run one of these. I believe the power jet pro only delivers about .8CFM
The second answer is yes these will work with solvents.
i actually forgot the maxx jet, which I think would run it. but as below. 1.5 CFM is your target to use one of these .
