I am using Badger 155 for overall painting and Iwata HP-C for detailing. How bout ya fellas?
iwata all the way with acrylics. omni for laquers and enamels. later.
I use an Omni 4000 and a Badger 360 mainly.
I also have an Omni 3000, Badger 155, and Vega 2000 which are my T-shirt airbrushes. My Badger 150 and Vega 1000 are not used very much anymore.

Paasche H for most of my work over the last 20 or so years and a recently purchased Iwata HP-CR which I am learning to use.
The Paasche H, (my first AB) and the Omni 4000. Both meet my needs just fine. [^]
I use a Tamiya HG Trigger for everything. A versatile, reliable, and very easy-to-use AB.
I have an Aztec 4709. Works for me.
I use a Badger 360-1 and a Harder&Steenbeck Evolution. I use the 360 for base coats and the Evolution for details. They are both great.
Paasche H for many a year.
currently an aztek 370 (sold the 220 for the cost of a needle) and
wil have a hp-c (thank you plasticmod992, i responded to your email, will lpay soon)
Iwata Revolution CR, it’s my only brush, but it’s done pretty much everything I need so far.
Omni 4000 for the majority of spraying, Badger 200 for large areas.
Badger 200NH for general coverage - all types of paint.
Badger 200-20/Omni 6000 for detail work.

I use the same. Everyone seems to hate my little Aztek, but it like he said, works for me.

Iwata HP-Cr does everything i need…very easily to use and maintain
I own an Aztek and a Badge Anthem. The Anthem is tougher, indestructible. The Aztek is lightweight, handier, has better accessories and sprays much better, more precisely controlled patterns. However, the plastic body of the Aztek is crap (or too susceptible to damage) with respect to the mechanism that powers the needle. This is the part of the trigger assembly (inside the body) that pulls on the needle causing it to travel forward and back. In the case of my Aztek, this was broken (worn out) even before I completed my first model. The needles stop moving and there was no paint flow. I found out Testors offers lifetime warranty on the body so I sent the defective body to them asking for replacement at their expense, which they did do.
Most people claim the Aztek nozzles is a bad system but I think the real issue is the trigger assembly in the body. Even if you’re a slop and break a nozzle you can replace it for a few bucks.
