Make sure the Airbrush has Solvent resistant seals like Teflon or such.
I started with a siphon bottle HF to see if I even wanted to and went thru like 4 in no time with the lacquer thinner and Reducer murdering the seals. I got my first Iwata in like '03 and still use it Today and the only parts I've ever replaced were my fault for dropping it. Most jobbers who mix's paint usually has returns and where I got bases practically Free just asking.
