Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok after reading through reviews on the Master G233, I see people blaming it for poor performance based on their settings. I have one, G233 not cheaper earlier G series, I use to paint Lexan rc bodies. First, there is NO firm PSI air setting to air brush an item. The psi needed changes with the thickness of the paint, how fine of detail you need etc. So setting it on 35-40psi will NOT work across the board for "everything". If you want a softer, more controlled spray, turn the psi down to say 15-20 or so. Secondly, to blame the loss of the tip protection cover on the brand is ludicrous. The tip is lightly hand tight. For a reason. To remove easily to clean the orifice or jet during painting if need be. Third, ANY air brush will splatter if the paint is too thin and air pressure is too high. As well as stop up from running alot of air through it and very little paint. The proper way to use an air brush is start the paint stroke before you reach the area you are applying it too. Since I use paint masks and liquid mask on the bodies, I start the stroke on the mask and let it travel onto the clear body. The Createx paint I use, thinned, will dry fast and if you allow the brush to sit for several minutes, just point away from work piece and open wide open to clear dried paint. You should be doing this out of habit anyway. The rear end cap is a limiter to limit how far the needle opens to control maximum application of paint. Handy for light misting and for learning control. The knurled sleeve inside the rear opening adjust spring pressure needed to open the needle to apply paint with. Move slightly, a little is alot of adjustment. The early Master air brushes seem to have soft needles, easily damaged, but this one, G233, seems to have better quality ones. I use an oilless 3 gallon compressor on mine and it does fine without a separator. The purpose of the 3 gallon tank is to let moisture in the compressed air, to drop out to the tank bottom during operation. If you use an air brush on demand compressor without a tank, you should be using a separator or dryer on it. The bottom line is, there is no "set in stone" air setting or air brush setting for you're application. Remember on air brushing, most of the time.. less is more.
