I'm getting my first airbrush , an Iwata Revolution HP-BCR and I have a few questions.

First, what size is the Iwata hose at the compressor end? I have a compressor with a 1/4" hose attachment, and I can't find a place to buy an adapter to 1/8".

Second, could I use Paashe jars and cups with the Revolution HP-BCR airbrush?

Thanks,

Scott

The Compressor end connector is usually a standard size. I use Paasche, Iwata, Badger, and Thayer and Chandler all on the same compressor (different hoses, though, at the brushe end). This also means I have quite an assortment of cups and bottles. I use whichever ones fit. I'm not sure this is the correct answer, but some are obviously too large ar too small at the point where they go on the airbrush. Congratulations on the airbrush. You'll enjoy it.
