I started with the badger 155 . It was fine for a while but I realy like to make mackerel and other striped plugs and I couldnt get any consistancy. Sometimes the lines would come out nice, spin plug around and the other side would be a big black blob.
I bought a new Iwata BCs and it is much nicer. I still use the badger for putting down base coats.
Pretty sure most of my problems were operator error.
Good Luck,
Scott
