When I was looking for my first airbrush, people told me that Grex airbrushed were the best! I looked at the prices and they seemed so expensive. I wasn’t even sure that I would really use an airbrush (or like it) so I wound up buying an inexpensive Testor Aztek. And I HATED it. I tried and tried to use it, but it did nothing but spatter and spew all over. I threw it all in the cabinet. Then a few years ago I went to an ICES convention near me. There were a lot of airbrush vendors in the room, all with try before you buy" stations. They all worked SO much better than mine (even when I was using them)! I tried the Grex there and it was so nice, but still expensive. I would up buying a badger system that I liked really well and I used it successfully for a few years and actually my airbrushing improved. A few months ago I finally broke down and bought that Grex though. And it is just as wonderful as I remembered.
Financially I would have been better off to have bought the expensive one in the first place.
