    Thanks for the tips. Will save me a lot of time cleaning between colors from now on. And especially liked how you stored the airbrush in the cleaner/water mug in the end. Will try that out!

    There's how you're taught to do it, and there's how you do it so you get a good job done in a good time. You very generously gave us a shortcut to the real life technique. Much thanks and respect to you.

    I knew about the backflow for mixing but never thought of pouring the leftover mixture back. Also, that tip for storing the airbrush without having to fully clean it is gold, thanks!

    I've been solidly an enamel painter for smaller scale stuff for years, but I married a Warmachine/Warhammer 40k player and I'm really starting to see how acrylics are the way to go for speed. Even if I could use these same techniques on enamels, I could NEVER keep my Iwata Eclipse so clean so easily. Not to mention I think it's a bit safer for you to inhale! Thanks for the vid; as I've started doing commission pieces now, any part of speeding up the process while keeping quality high is a serious bonus in my book!

    WRustyLane: I have two airbrushes--one cheapo Chinese Harbour Freight one and a Badger 155 Anthem. I like my Badger Anthem 155 better than the Chinese knock off. I found that the cheapo HF one can use the trigger and back rocker from my Badger 155 Anthem. So I ordered those two parts for the cheapo since I broke the trigger and bent the back rocker and put them into the cheapo. I modified the trigger a bit but took too much off the bottom of the trigger and found out that I needed to take some metal off the bottom of the inside hole where the needle goes through. Now I've got to get another Badger trigger to go in the cheapo. Trial and error.

    @MosoKaiser 7 лет назад +8

    Solid tips and techniques, but tbh I wouldn't really call any of these "hacks". And these aren't exactly new or revolutionary, either. Doesn't diminish their usefulness one bit, though. Good stuff for beginners.
    But one thing I have disagree on is pouring thinned leftover paint back into the pot. That'll spoil the original paint in the pot sooner or later. To what degree the paint's characteristics will suffer depends on the brand and what they were thinned with, but mixing the thinned paint back in won't be improving them.

    Should be noted leaving your airbrush soaking in airbrush cleaner or other solvents could potentially degrade the o-rings over time. Iwata airbrushes don't have them in the tip, though, so what you're doing is probably fine with them as long as you're not totally submersing them so it gets up into the body.

      @statoilbensin2190 3 года назад

      In my opinion it is not a good tip, airbrush cleaners are powerful solvents and laying youre airbrush or airbrush parts in it will damadge/destroy youre airbrush. I dont understand why anyone would do it, especially not for many hours.

  • @williamwinn948
    @williamwinn948 6 лет назад

    I have a question can you actually tell if the paint is thin enough to be sprayed by the way it percolates in the pot or the amount of Bubbles you're seeing? I think I just found out a hack on paint Viscosity. At 6:42 You can actually see how it doesn't bubble and then he adds some more water to it . Gonna try it out

This might show my ignorance, but is there no worry about rusting? Also, is there a point that the water could go too high on the airbrush and damage anything? Like I assume water level should be below the plunger? Thanks so much for the video. :)

I used at least 20+ drops of paint and the same again in water and only coated 2 properly and 2 with light coats that need gone over again.

      @thejonsonator 8 лет назад +1

      I've got one of these mate. £50 I think. to replace my budget pile of junk that clogged and died in no time! Great brush. Easy to control, multiple size cups, plus you can remove the cup altogether and just get a few drops in the opening. Also its piece of cake to clean, if you pull it apart, the spring clip behind the trigger is connected to the piece that holds it in place, meaning its not fiddly to put back together again. Really reccomend as a low budget brush but its still got the quality name to it. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for a great video. Checking out thelongwar today. One question, you say the video is in realtime. But how is the paint able to dry inbetween the layers? Ive always wondered in all the tutorials where you guys mix a little lighter paint in the cup and then contiue. If youve done a video please link and Ill watch it:)

    hello Kenny. Just have one question. What PSI did you use on that guy (I know it depends on the distance to your model and the purpose you use your airbrush for, like base coating or painting the details). Thanks a lot for your time and keep up the great work!
