r/airbrush

question, how do you copy a polished jade finish? I tried on 4 spoon with different process... seems like I'm missing something to make it like a jadeite / polished jade.

Still new to airbrushing and I’ve been having a hard time with white. Everything I use it. The paint always comes out speckled and not smooth.

Air compressor is at 2 bar
I’m making sure the tip has nothing on it
I am using thinner to help thin the paints down

Hey everyone. Just picked up a new Eclipse and was excited to try it out but I'm immediately running into issues. I'm getting very low flow through the brush regardless of the inlet pressure my compressor is set to.

My assumption was a clog or something but I can't find anything. I've fully disassembled the brush, checked that everything is clean and seated properly. Is there a secret set up step with these that I'm now aware of?

Attached is running at around 20 psig / 1.4 barG. I get this issue regardless of additive or whether I'm spraying inks, water, or IPA. I get the same low pressure with the cap removed. So I don't think it's that

Any thoughts?

Edit: Pretty sure the o-ring that sits on top of the air valve is missing. So instead of air going through the channel to where all the paint is it just comes out the top. So I'm getting really low pressure through the tool

When I first started using this brush, it worked wonderfully! It's dual action, it's siphon fed. It's all that I want in an airbrush.

However, for the life of me I am struggling immensely getting this thing to continue to draw paint. I've deep cleaned it multiple times (taken it completely apart), thinned out the paint, even cleaned the nozzles and hose on the paint jars I've got. It will work if I briefly shake my paint jar while it's attached, but basically it fills the chamber and once it's dispensed the paint I can try to shake it again, but it doesn't always work.

Does anyone have the same problem? It's not my compressor because it works perfectly fine with any other airbrush, in fact I was using the master brush G22 Model to finish my project because the S68 wouldn't draw the paint. Please help and thanks in advance!

I got a new airbrush compressor there comes air out but the regulator don’t show the pressure is it broken or is it something dad I have missed?

I got it like a week ago and it’s a Sparmax TC-610H plus.it was really expensive so really bad if it does not work properly

Hello, i have bought a prize compressor made for normal work (https://www.jemogfix.dk/kompressor-stoejsvag-1-0-hk-og-24-l-tank-prize/3151/9054816/) which has a 1/4 fitting.

I was thinking to just get a 1/4=1/8 hoze (https://airbrush-shop.dk/slanger-og-koblinger/56-airbrush-slange-3-meter-1-4.html) hook that up to the Sparmax Silver Bullet MAC to get rid of possible condensation and to adjust pressure more accurately.

It seems pretty straight forward but this is very new territory for me so just wanted some confirmation or maybe even ridicule to check if what i am doing is right.

My choice of colors has been reduced to pretty much three: Magenta (more like red), cyan (more like blue), and yellow.

Mostly because I have only one airbrush, so it takes time shift from one color to another. I used to have greens and purples and such, but all the pigments always worked differently (they're not really airbrush colors), and I seem to do just fine with these three.

But I can't help but feel, that I'm missing out on something. Worth noting, that I dont have white, so that's a minus because I cant do highlights.

I’m a complete beginner and don’t really know what I’m doing so please be kind 😊, I have an iawata eclipse and have used it on one project before I dropped it and bent the needle, I bought a new needle and the small piece that holds the needle at the end and now I haven’t been able to use it, in this vid I’m just using water to test how it sprays….im not sure what’s wrong but if I need to get any replacement parts or anything please let me know. Thanks! 😊

After using it to give my gsc a zenithal I noticed it left a super weird shine so I went to go strip the models of their paint only to figure out that this paint turns into a weird film that is insanely hard to get off of my gsc🫩 anyone know how to get this stuff off

So I need 40 psi then when I spray it just go to 0 then it will buzz and turn to 40. Before it wasn’t like this it maintained the 40 psi. Thanks

I think it will

Recently picked up this rare 0.2mm Meiji MP-1 airbrush for a pretty good price, only to notice that the tip was broken upon taking the nozzle off (Yes I know, rookie mistake.)

Is it done for?
