Hey guys, has anyone had any contact or experience with the Grex airbrushes?  I saw them at the Toledo Show last weekend and was impressed with the apparent quality.  I didn't really have time to examine thoroughly, though, so am seeking info from you fellows with experience with them  Thanks in advance!

Hi Will, I have had my Grex XT for a couple of months, and have been happy with it so far.  I have shot testors model master acrylic through it as well as Sig dope.  It has very fine atomization, when I painted the cockpit of my new Dreadnought with it I joked with Eric that it put paint down one atomic diameter at a time.  This means good surface prep is more important than ever.

Needle removal is easy, internal polishing looks good, I have not really tested the fine line abilities of the brush yet, although I suspect they might be down near the 1/8th inch realm with the tip I have.  Not sure I would want to paint a whole stunter with it though, and there would be *no way* to hose down a wet final coat of clear.

Really, one of the 20 buck single action suction feed badgers works well for most stunt plane trim work.  I got my Grex for the plastic models.  The picture below is the first model I tried with the Grex...

I based gettting my Grex on the experience of a friend who is a top level plastic modeler. (think Top Five level in stunt terms).  His airbrush stand in the shop had the Grex and two Iwatas.  That was good enough for a hacker like me.
