Kady,

IMHO, for plug making, a bottom feed airbrush is the way to go. I use the Iwata BCS eclipse ( I have 2 bottom feeds and 1top feed)
With the bottom feed brushes and the fast blast caps attached to my paint bottles, I can go from color to color in 10-15 seconds. I just use a squirt bottle with water to flush the brush in between color changes.
I do like the top or side feed airbrush for doing detail work.

get the Iwata top feed cup model
it's all you'll need

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I agree with Bernzy, bottom feed Iwata. Fast blast caps are definitely a plus. Less wasted paint and quicker. Get a moisture trap as the compressor will build up some moisture.
