Kustom Airbrushes - Up Close

They’re new. They’re kewl, and they’re Kustom - Iwata Kustom that is. By now, most of you have heard about the new Iwata Kustom Series airbrushes, and a few of you may even have one already! For those of you who haven’t - here’s the news…

This new airbrush series is really designed with the automotive and Kustom painter, sporting large color cups and featuring Teflon packings, larger cups, pre-set handles and taller triggers. The Kustom series shine in atomizing solvent-based paints. If your art leans towards an automotive venue, these airbrushes are for you.

So, as some of you guys know, I do some graphic design for Iwata-Medea, along with some airbrushing on occasion, so when this project came up I thought… “looks like fun.” A couple days later a box with five shiny new airbrushes showed up - The Kustom TH, TR, CM, CH and CS. I had them dismantled, spread out everywhere with drawings started faster than you could sing the airbrush national anthem. After all, these are hot! So, with the Kustom Series Manual & Parts Guide all wrapped up, we re-assembled airbrushes and put together a PDF for you guys. Got questions on the Kustoms? This doc should cover it, with more information on Iwata-Medea’s web site. Remember, you saw it here first.

The gang at Iwata-Medea tell us the Kustom series airbrushes will ship in about a week, and they’ll be available at your preferred airbrush dealer soon after.

Iwata Kustom Hi-Line TH
Complete with two air-caps to create a round or fan spray pattern.

Iwata Kustom Revolution TR
The long trigger provides commanding control of the airbrush spray.

Iwata Kustom Micron CM
The MAC Daddy of all airbrushes, the Kustom Micron CM is framed around the Custom Micron airbrush.

Iwata Kustom Hi-Line CH
For ultimate control of fine line work and medium background spraying.

Iwata Kustom Eclipse CS
The workhorse of the Kustom line, the Kustom Eclipse CS features a large general-purpose nozzle/needle combination.

So here it is - hot off to press - or more so really, since it’s brought to you before it goes to press; the official Iwata Kustom Series Manual & Parts Guide, which is really much more than a parts guide. This download features specific information on getting started with the airbrush, and all-round general information about spraying and paint preparation, along with some maintenance insight and troubleshooting fix-its.
