Grex Airbrushes - the Genesis XG
I was thoroughly impressed with the simplicity yet effectiveness of their website...and so impressed with the look of their product, that I had to contact Grex Airbrushes and tell them so. Next thing I know, Grex has supplied me with a brand new Genesis XG and asked for my feedback and opinion.
Details and specifications on this (and other Grex airbrushes) can be found here: Genesis XG
Unfortunately this airbrush has not worked (for me) as well as I had hoped. I find it comparable to a Paasche VL in many features and yet not as responsive.
I had difficulty spraying fine detail lines unless I used very thin lightweight mediums and then the tip size was too large.
Fit and finish is excellent and trigger control is tight and smooth.
I think it would work well as a fill and background sprayer and might suit as a T-shirt airbrush where finer detail is not necessarily needed.
I am reluctant to suggest it as a beginner learner airbrush because of its inability to handle heavier paints like Createx that well.
I would like more time to experiment with other paints and reducing options before I give a final verdict on this great looking airbrush!
All in all a fair to good value for the price, but there are better choices out there.
