The Iwata Revolution HP-BR

The HP-BR is an excellent gravity feed airbrush. They’re great for beginners who don’t want to spend a fortune but still want something made to last.

They’re generally easy to work with and replacement parts won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Features and Review

1. Great Iwata quality with low price
2. Great for beginners – Though the HP-BR isn’t as forgiving about paint consistency as the HP-CR or Eclipse airbrushes it’ll still get the job done.
3. The smaller cup is nice for people with large, meaty, sausage-like fingers. Your finger can run into the back of larger cups.
4. The HP-BR is perfect for makeup artists and hobbyists as well as Auto graphics.
5. Ergonomic Handle
6. Teflon Needle Packing

Common Problems

• Tip Dry
• Clogs
• Weak Nozzle
• Bent needles – you can try repairing the needle yourself.
• Can’t change tip sizes
  Like the HP-AR the .3mm tip setup is the only one that will work on the HP-BR.  That’s because of a silly ring the factory put in just behind the color cup.  It looks like it’s only purpose is to prevent the .5mm needle from passing through.
