I like this airbrush design. But I would like to know how much paint it can hold in the small cup, or how much you can paint without having to reload the cup.
I have this exact brush. As I am a total newbie to airbrushing my advice may not be too helpful. As far as the cup size is concerned the amount of paint is not really relevant, it all depends on the angle you use the brush, to steep an angle or too much rotation limits the capacity. Much also depends on the paint viscosity and pressure, so it is difficult to say how much you can paint on one fill.
One tip I have is to find a friendly chemist and buy small bottles with “eye-drop” pipette style lids. This way you have storage for mixed colours and a controlled method of filling the cup.
By the way I now have two airbrushes and I use both equally the “paasche” I use for fine detail and guache type water paint and the “Badger Cresendo” for my forays into acrylic paint which has thicker viscosity.
