Iwata: Naaldkap

Finally, a cap that fits like it should—no wobble, no guesswork, just a clean click onto the threads. I’ve had aftermarket caps that strip or loosen mid-project, but this one stays put even when I’m doing fine detail passes. Worth the peace of mind for keeping the airbrush running true.

The cap threads on smoothly and sits snug, so I don’t worry about paint drying in the tip between color changes. It’s clearly machined to match the airbrush body perfectly—about as hassle-free a replacement as you can get.

Replacing a dinged cap with the genuine part brought my setup back to factory-clean, and the threading matches the body exactly so there’s zero wobble when I screw it on. It’s a small piece, but knowing it’s the real deal gives me peace of mind for consistent spray control.
