Great info Trevor!! Thanks as always for taking the time to do it! I dont know if you paint goalie helmets but if you do or have do you think you could do a video on masking sequence of graphics??
I apologize for the late reply, I've been extremely busy over the last few months. Sequential masking is a great question! I don't have any goalie helmets lined up at the moment, but I do have a custom motorcycle paint job coming up that will use sequential masking techniques.
I used Goo Gone to remove paint residue on helmets i paint it didn't cause any problems with the paint but i did use PPG automotive paint & i wiped it lightly multiple times until it was clean, just a thought that this may work also
I apologize for my late reply. Unfortunately, there's not a hard and fast rule when it comes to reducing your paint. There are a lot of factors that will affect how your paint will atomize and spray, temperature and humidity are the biggest factors, but there are other influences that have an effect on how well your paint will spray. As a base line, I would start in the 20 to 25 percent range with a 0.5 and go from there. You may need a little more reduction or a little less. Your air pressure setting will also have an influence. A higher air pressure setting will spray a thicker paint better than a lower air pressure setting.

Great informative video Trevor even though it felt like I was getting told off on the last question..lol
I apologize! My intent was not to tell anyone off... lol.
Great advice Trevor, thank you
Thank you!
Hi Trevor 👋 As always thanks..I have used my finger nail & like you said you get what you pay for 😊 learned the hard way to not cut corners
Hey Rich! We've all learned the hard way from time to time my friend... That's called life, lol!
I received my sticker pack this last week! Thank you. Also, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers
Awesome!

Thank you for the kind words, very much appreciated!
hi, I'm starting to get closer to the world of airbrushing on helmets, I wanted to ask you if you use solvent-based paints or water-based paints
I use water-based paint.

Thank you!
What reduction ratio should I use on my sliver sealer for a 0.5 airbrush do I do 10% or go right to 25%?
