Great airbrush maintenance video, just what I was looking for, just got my new iwata hp bus, can't wait to get good at it. Plus I was on the fence about the tool kit, saw the ease you used it, I'll be getting it. Thanks again
I've watched this video several times! I finally got up the nerve to strip down my airbrush (eclipse hp-bcs) but when I tried to remove the piston there was so much resistance I stopped. So, do you need a fair amount of pressure to push the piston out the first time? Thanks again!!
You shouldn't need a lot of pressure. You may have some paint build-up in the way. Try washing it out with a little thinners to see if it will loosen up a bit.
@@ScaledDownCustoms Thanks again for the quick response! I remembered I shot some primer with my .35, so I put my .5 in my airbrush, tightly held my .35 with my other hand and flushed it out with lacquer thinner, and it worked!! Thanks again.
Best tutorial on airbrush maintenance

I lightly polish my airbrush needles with 3M sanding foam 3,000 grit/grade every so often if I see paint residue
