For all those who have asked, and all those who want to try and buy these outstanding airbrushes and compressors, Grex will be at AMPSEast!
I just got an emergency email from Grex and we have squeezed them in to our already sold out vendor room.
I bought one at AMPS International. IMO it beats the hell out of anything out there. Best AB I have tried or seen!!
Rounds Complete!!
Just checked out their AB’s on line and I’m looking forward to seeing their stuff in person.
I got to play with one of them at AMPSEast last year. They certainly are nice - I’m glad to hear from Redleg that he is pleased with his. I was sorely tempted last year… [BG]
Redleg,
Which Grex model did you get?
Uh oh…told myself I WOULD buy the Genesis (trigger operated, gravity-fed double action) if they showed up this year. Means I could retire the Peak to enamel and lacquer work only. Better bring the credit cards with me. [:-^]
Boyd - I bought
The Tritium TS with .020 nozzle
Fantastic brush, outstanding control. Great for freehand camo. Terrific for detail work. Very comfortable to use. It even has a special cap that would allow you to put the brush right up to the model and paint a pencil wide line perfectly without spatter. Also has a preset adjsment knob in the rear to adjuct paint volume…fantastic for detail work, no adjusting air pressure to get volume.
I’m left handed so having the side entry which could be switched to either side was great. Having the top clear of the paint well allows better aiming IMO,
Only drawback is it requires more work to clean than my Iwata or say a Badger. But once you get the hang of it, the few more minutes and solvent is worth it based on the quality of work you can do with the brush.
Dupes - Before you do anything, look at this guy. I have looked at the others and I went with Grex. And yes they took credit cards when I bought it at AMPS International.

Ooooooh. Looks very similar to the Genesis.XT I’ve been lusting after. Maybe they’re dropping the Genesis, and this is the “new” version? I’ll have to test drive one this weekend. [;)]
Interesting looking. How much does it and others cost? I saw one that looks very similar to a Badger 150.
OOOOOOOOO[:P]
This may be my big purchase for the day.
OK…now for the bad news…you are looking at around $200 for the TS. You get the brush,3 different size paint bottles for connection to the brush.
I think it is worth the investment. You can never have enough GOOD tools.

Going for $209 on all of the online joints, to be exact. [:(]
OUCH!! [BH]
Is that just the AB or the kit?
That is about what I paid for the kit at the show…plus no shipping
