Does anyone use a gravity feed airbrush for powder paint?

I just ordered a  Iwata Revolution BR to use Createx on my blade baits and spinnerbaits  and I don't want to screw it up by trying powder paint in it!

Thanks,

I have never used a airbrush to powder paint but I would think in would depend on the needle size. I have trouble with some of the paints I use with the small needles in my airbrushes. I would think you would need a bigger needle. IMO

I think the Revolution has a .3mm needle/nozzle I'm not sure with straight powder paint but if you apply it with powder water it may work but I have only sprayed huge particle sized material through my .66mm and that work fine even with cheap craft glitter paint.

I have a powder paint airbrush that does a good job of coating the entire bait...but I have a heck of a time for any detail.

You could always add some detail with your Dremel  ;D
