I'm buying an airbrush, and currently this is the frontrunner. However, It doesn't come with a color cup, only a bottle (I don't have that large a volume of paint at a given time to need a bottle), so my question is: can a color cup from, let's say badger, be used?
How's it for cleaning & maintenance?

Thank you very much in advance,
Tvrtko

Hi Tvrtko

The simple answer is that Iwata do other airbrushes in the HP range that have colour cups. I've got an HP-BS and it's a beautiful airbrush.

All the best

I have one, and I'm using a badger color cup on it because I couldn't find a suitable Iwata one locally. It works great. The cup doesn't fit in exactly level, but it's close enough. It fits perfectly into the intake, though.

I'm not sure of the model number of the paint cup. I'll take a picture of it and post it when I get a chance.

That's great, thanks!
The HP-BS is, unfortunately, out of my price range
Thanks for all your help!

Cheers,
Tvrtko
