Unsurpassed Performance & Control
Iwata airbrushes are world-renowned in all markets for unsurpassed performance and control. Top professionals and serious hobbyists use Iwata airbrushes. There is a model of Iwata to suit any application. Iwata airbrushes have versatile spray patterns without the need for changing nozzles. You can achieve fine detail with even the largest nozzles. An Iwata airbrush atomises well at lower air pressures, giving you more control, less overspray and the choice of using quieter and smaller air compressors. With Iwata's quality and durability, it will be the last airbrush you will buy. So Iwata is the best choice, whether you are upgrading your airbrush or buying for the first time. From December 2006, the 5 Year Iwata-Medea Warranty has now been extended to a 10 Year UK Warranty against manufacturing defects, if you purchase your Iwata airbrush from an authorised UK dealer.

HI-Line
This series features the ultimate in air control directly at the nozzle with Iwata's new Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve Technology. The Hi-Line Series doesn't just change air pressure instantly - it changes the way you airbrush.

Designed for artists who need extreme control of detailed spraying, this series uses larger diameter threads on the nozzle than the High Performance Series. This makes the nozzle much stronger when tightening it onto the airbrush and ensures better centering of the nozzle when it screws onto the airbrush body.

The Hi-Line Series is now made with Teflon needle packing, a dual-purpose cutaway, pre-set handle and one-piece auxiliary lever/needle chucking guide.

Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve
A breakthrough technology, the Micro Air Control (MAC) Valve enables infinite control of the airflow at the head of the airbrush, which is different than just regulating the air pressure at the compressor.

    Lets users spray a coarse stippling effect to full atomisation with a quick turn

    For fine line or detail work, it can be adjusted to create the optimum airflow for maximum control of the paint output

    By fully opening the MAC Valve, the airbrush can quickly be cleaned during colour changes or for wide background spraying

High-Performance Assembly
Each nozzle is precisely made on the industry's most sophisticated machinery. They are hand tested to assure accurate control and fine atomization of the spray, and they are self-sealing, which eliminates the need for messy sealers. Unlike conventional brass nozzles, steel alloys are more durable and resist damage from harsh chemicals.

High Performance
Renowned as the professional's workhorse, the popular High Performance Series has just been pumped up these inspired new features. For decades the Iwata HP series has been the professional workhorse, fulfilling the needs of those requiring outstanding control, superior atomisation, and fine consistent detail through to medium sized areas. The HP Series has proved itself with illustrators through to customisers with it's versatility and durabilty.

    Dual-purpose, cutaway ands pre-set handle for easy clean up and precise control of paint flow

    Teflon™ needle packing for automotive or other solvent-based paints
