I would suggest that you save your money & buy the best you can possibly afford .... Trust me ,, I have The VL & its not made for automotive urethane paints & the plastic will get eaten up by any laquer thinner or reducer if you happen to spill on it or try to clean it ...
You can buy the Iwatas with Teflon seals so you can use it for ALL types of paints from waterbased to Oil & auto urethanes.........
I just bought (2) more HP-C's & (1) Custom micron for my muraling works to come............
These are the best airbrushes that i have ever used - Real easy to clean & maintain.....................
You will save your money in the long run if you buy it - YOu will be pleased for sure - Otherwise i will offer to buy it back if you dont ! LOL!!!!!!!!
