I just got in to air brushing and I've mostly been working with acrylics, but I've been looking in to it and from what I can tell enamels sound like they're just better in every way aside from the toxicity and odor
What's a good brand on enamel paints to look at?
Ok so I'm being a little facetious, but I just sprayed through every createx metallic pearl I had with no issue, except the wicked pearl red
I didn't thin or mix any of them, just straight out of the bottle, it's not the brush, it's not something I'm doing as far as I know, it is in fact the paint
I'm going to order another bottle directly from createx and see if I can get better results
Also question, does Createx make a needle lubricant? I also wanted to try that out as well
What are some niche but useful tool recommendations for Customizing Gunpla?
I've managed to collect a decent array of tools but maybe there are some tools out there I don't have that could help me improve my Gunpla skills
I've been soaking this in alcohol but I can't seem to get this black primer out, should I re sand or should I just go ahead and prime it for painting?
I have been trying to get this paint to spray for over a week, I've run through the entire 2oz bottle, I've mixed it over 2 dozen times I've deep cleaned my air brush I got a brand new air brush, it has to be the paint at this point right?
It sprays fine otherwise, I have no problem with some Vallejo black primer right out of the bottle
But this freaking paint man, the only thing I can possibly think is that it's the humidity it has to be
Oh yeah the paint in question is the createx wicked pearl
Red
I'm not even asking for help anymore I'm just defeated
Hi, it's me again why can't I find any spray out pot filters? did scalpers buy them all up?
So I'm getting so conflicting information I just wanted to double check, should I be removing my needle from the front or the back ?
I've seen people say the back so you don't ruin the needle removing the nozzle first
And I've seen people say the front so you don't drag paint back through your airbrush
Both arguments seem convincing idk which one is right
I am very sorry for the constant posting but I really don't have any other resources to lean on, maybe you guys can recommend some
But I'm noticing leaking between the nozzle and the brush
It's been leaving a small ring in the front of the brush often times it's not very much but enough to leave a full complete circle
And I just sprayed and there's was a considerable amount of leaking
That's not normal right?
I watched a lot of people polishing their needles with a power drill, is that necessary can't I just do it by hand
I saw bandai released a refresh of the RG HI Nu with titanium finish, I think to myself hey I have an Airbrush why not make my own
Is anyone familiar with how Bandai does their titanium finishes?
I bought a Black Widow Air brush a few days ago and I'm wondering if this needle is damaged it's .5mm
If so where can I get a replacement
Been trying to paint this the last couple of days, cannot get my air brush to stop spitting on my piece
I'm fairly certain that it's tip dry, when I rock the trigger back and forth I can usually clear the blockage
It's very humid right now even running the AC on full blast, I really want to get this finished but it's just not going well
I'm using Createx Wicked Pearl Red and a HF black widow
I've thinned it down to water and it doesn't help
I'm trying to get this paint to spray but it just will not, I've thinned it to water with 4021reducer and it won't spray I've tried 50psi I've tried 20 psi
It just will not spray
I'm using a HF black widow with .5 needle and as far as I know it is in working condition
The brush will spray water and even some Vallejo black primer black no problem this freaking paint just will not spray
I've mixed it like 5 times now and I don't think I can thin it anymore than I already have
I'll rock the trigger back and forth and it'll spurt and stop Yesterday I got it to flow but only if I pulled the trigger way back and it just dumped the stuff and I need to it flow at like a half pull
I was trying to buy an aventus and it says they're sold out when might new stock be coming in?
Is there a way to strip the paint off a piece and start over, I don't want to do all the scribe work over again because I fucked up the paint job
Ok I'm officially on my third air brush, the one I bought from Amazon is unrecoverable, got a replacement under warranty for the HF black widow after damage the tip
This needle is not broken.... right?
I think I might have gotten some bad advice or followed it poorly, someone said you can hit the tip of the air brush with a paint brush or a fine bristle toothbrush to get rid of tip dry which is how I think my last need got scuffed
So I'm on my second air brush and I'm considerably more nervous that I'm going to break it, I'm utilizing all the correct cleaning procedures but I'm trying to not resort to removing the needle
I got it pretty clean but I just could not get it completely cleannl, the front of the nozzle cap and their was still a very minute amount of paint on the needle when I removed it
I tried using a brush to clean the front but it just wasn't getting the job done
Idk any advice is appreciated
I recently had to replace my .1 mm scribing blade because I broke it and I couldn't help but notice how much better it was scribing
Can you sharpen scribing blades? If so how do you do that?
I have stedi tungsten blades
This may or may not be easier than a water slide decal but I bought an airbrush damnit and I'm gonna use it
Do they make airbrush decal stencil kits for Gundams?
