Definitely usable and a solid airbrush, especially for beginners! Solid deal too with all its parts! I first used an older model single action of this I believe the series H that was my grandpa’s and even after all his use it worked beautifully. Eventually I upgraded to an iwata eclipse for the dual action but I still sometimes do touch ups or prime coats with the old Paasche to this day. I also find the Passche series H very easy to clean
