Choosing a Revolution model

• Iwata Revolution HP-SAR: siphon feed, single action. Iwata positions it for high performance in a single-action design, and for single-color work from moderate-size jobs to background spraying.
• Iwata Revolution HP-BCR (also offered with an Iwata Airbrush Hose): siphon feed, dual action. It has the larger nozzle and needle combination for heavier, thicker paints, with a spray pattern from 1.5" down to fine lines. The siphon bottle makes swapping colors quick.
• Iwata Revolution HP-BR: gravity feed, dual action. It has the smaller nozzle and needle combination for detail in small areas, with a spray pattern from .75" down to hairlines.
• Iwata Revolution HP-CR: gravity feed, dual action. It has the larger nozzle and needle combination for heavier, thicker paints, with a spray pattern from 1.5" down to fine lines. Iwata calls it versatile from moderate detail to background spraying.
• Iwata Revolution HP-CR3: gravity feed, dual action. It has the smaller nozzle and needle combination for detailed spraying, with a spray pattern from .75" down to hairlines.
• Iwata Revolution HP-M1 and HP-M2: gravity feed, single action, per the listing titles. The manual excerpt we work from doesn't cover them, so check each product page for details.
• Iwata Revolution HP-TR1 and HP-TR2: side feed, dual action trigger airbrushes, per the listing titles. The manual excerpt doesn't cover them either, so check each product page for details.

All the models covered in the manual are internal mix with an ergonomic handle and replaceable internal PTFE needle packing for solvent-base paints. The manual does not list cup sizes, so check each listing for capacity.

Finding the right replacement part

The Iwata-Medea Revolution manuals number each component. Examples are the needle cap (#1), nozzle cap (#2), nozzle (#3), main lever (#6 or #7), needle (#11), needle chucking nut (#12), handles (#13 and #14) and, on the HP-SAR, the fluid adjustment knob (#15). Find your part in the manual's parts list for your model, then match its part number to the code on the listing. Nozzles, needles and caps are model-specific, so confirm your airbrush model (HP-SAR, HP-BCR, HP-BR, HP-CR, HP-CR3 and so on) before ordering. If the code doesn't match anything, call us and we'll help.

FAQ

How do I clean my Revolution after spraying?
For siphon feed models, remove the paint bottle, attach a bottle of the appropriate cleaning solution and spray until it runs clear. Then remove that bottle and spray air until the airbrush is dry. For gravity feed models, dump out the excess paint, rinse the cup with cleaner and wipe it with a paper towel. Then spray cleaner until it runs clear. If the airbrush clogs, raise the air pressure, spray cleaner briefly and clean the needle if needed.

How should I care for the needle and nozzle?
Iwata warns that the needle and nozzle are very delicate, and even a slight bend in the needle tip can affect the spray pattern. To clean the needle, remove it straight out and rotate it in a soft cloth damp with cleaner. When you reinsert it, seat it fully against the nozzle and tighten the chucking nut finger tight.

What should I lubricate the Revolution with?
Lightly coat the needle with a high-quality lubricant such as Medea Super Lube, and add one drop in the slot behind the main lever. Don't over-lube, because excess can
