Ever wonder what airbrush I used to paint all the models in my project albums?
Well look no further, the future of your painting hobby may lie with this unique airbrush simply called a Grex.
I met these guys two years ago at the first Monsterpalooza convention in LA and immediately bought an airbrush and compressor. What is unique about the Grex line is that they make pistol grip DOUBLE ACTION airbrushes that allow you to use an airbrush in a different way than a traditional double action airbrush.
There are a bunch of advantages with this.1) The ergonomic design means your hand doesn’t get tired holding an airbrush in an unnatural position.
2) You don’t have two planes of movement which you need to move the trigger as with a traditional airbrush. No down and back, just back.
3) The mechanism is much easier to clean.
4) Superior paint control with fine line and general coverage performance as well as the air brush being less prone to clogging. Here’s why: when you release the trigger the paintflow shuts off before the air flow, therefore you don’t have residual paint in the gun nozzle when you start the flow of air again like with traditional double action air brushes.
You can get the complete line of Grex products from my favorite online retailer Spikey Bits.
