airbrushing.
I am not familiar with the bottom feed VL airbrush but I use a bottom (siphon) feed Model H Paasche with great success. I bought several boxes of plastic blood transfer pipettes from my local drugstore and pipette paint directly into the opening where the paint bottle connects. Each pipette delivers about 1/2-1 ml of paint and you can paint an amazing amount of plastic with this amount. The paint does not run out of the back of the airbrush as long as you do not point it upwards. Cleanup is a breeze, several eye droppers of lacquer thinner run through the airbrust a swab with a thinner wet pipe cleaner and another eye dropper of thinner and you are good to go. There is no excessive use of paint in the siphon bottle. In fact I usually waste more paint mixing it than I use in actually painting. HTH Pete
