I'm basically trying to determine between two setups for my airbrushing needs. Either getting:

Setup 1 - 2 Airbrushes
GSI Creos - PS-270 which is a dual action 0.2mm airbrush and a GSI Creos PS-290 which is a trigger style 0.5mm airbrush

Setup 2 - 1 Airbrush
H&S Infinity w/ 0.2mm

For either setup, I'm going to get a dedicated airbrush specific compressor with a 3L tank.

I intend to paint both models and terrain/scenery with the airbrush. It should also meet my priming needs. The largest reason I'm stuck in this decision is clearly the infinity is a higher quality brush; but it is a higher point for a single brush with a single size. Will the 0.2mm be able to also prime my larger models as well as my terrain? I've gone through a million airbrush videos and comparisons and reviews; and none of the million videos/reviews I've watched seemed to actually call this part out including information about the specific size which was installed on the brush as they used it.

Big Considerations for Me
1. Id rather buy once and not have to buy again later. Long term the more expensive one might be cheaper. If it can generally meet most of my needs well enough and I can expand later; then I'll probably go that route.
2. It needs to be easy to maintain and deal with. I saw a few things where you have to get screw drivers out and fiddle with things in a complex manner; thats just going to lead to me hating it.

Anything anybody else wants to add to this; please do.

Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10567940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10567940.page GMT
My ancient deVilbis has a 0.12 and 0.65

It would save you getting 2 brushes]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10567959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10567959.page GMT
So the combo of the Creos adds up to approximately the same as the infinity by itself.

I was looking at this kit in particular for the infinity: https://spraygunner.com/spikey-bits-infinity/ If I don't get that kit, I'll still get that compressor; but a different brush set.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10568019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10568019.page GMT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyHaZG7UacM&t=668s]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10568096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10568096.page GMT CR Plus that comes with the 2 different needle sizes (you just swap tip, nozzle, and needle). I usually go 0.4 mm for large surfaces and priming, and 0.2 mm for everything else. I have the 0.15 mm needle for the H&R as well, but even with the re-design, it has clogging issues so I never use it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10568100.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10568100.page GMT

The simple truth is, that no matter how much or what liquid your thin your paint with, the pigments themselves do have a size. That combined with the hole the material has to go through determines how likely you are to see clogs. Time spent cleaning needlessly, is time not spent painting.

I have an H&S evolution and infinity, with 0.15, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6mm needle nozzle sets. I find that I'm using the 0.4mm almost exclusively. That makes almost no difference in application - due to the good control the H&S places on the trigger - but a huge difference in clogs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10569530.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10569530.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10569804.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/780178/10569804.page GMT
