I always recommend a dual action Badger 150. I don't think that it is any
harder to clean than a single action air brush. The dual action gives the
refinisher much more control over his work. The 150 D/A will allow you the most
versatile refinishing that any pro or novas could want. The finger action will
allow the refinisher the option of material flow during the application. There
are different needles and heads available to refinish with solvent or water to
give proper atomization. There is something that can only be done with the
dual action and not the single action, blow air only during the painting
process.
If you plan to paint really large items such as 50ft O scale box cars all one
color, you may look at a Thayer and Chandler or Pasha single action. They do
have very large patterns for keeping you're over lap wet. Remember that is more
paint being sprayed at one time. You will go through materials a lot faster
with lest control and more over spray in the air. The two types of air brushes
dual and single action are designed to do different kinds of work. Figure out
just what you plan to paint. Will it be really large items or S Scale and
smaller items?
Even when I am painting very large items like flames on race cars I still use
my 150 for ultimate control of material being applied. I have to admit that I
have not used either single action paint brushes in so long I forgot where they
are at in my work clutter.
