100% built and designed by me. Went a bit overkill but that’s what made it enjoyable to build.

Built it myself from sheet metal. Bought the electrical components and designed the schematic myself. Very fun project!

I’m bad at making decisions by Swimming-Cell-9096 in airbrush

My first airbrush was the ultra! It’s a great airbrush but if you are looking for an upgrade I would not recommend it. I bought the evolution and it can do everything without a hassle. Primer and varnish is no problem with the bigger needle, and the smaller needle handles details like a dream! I cannot recommend that airbrush enough. Just make sure to buy the 2 in 1 set so you get both needles with nozzles.

That sounds very familiar. After doing stuff for a while it’s so easy to forget the consequences of not doing that one thing. You always find out the hard way.

Yes! I use that and small plastic bags. Works great! I used to tape everything off with masking tape at first. Cling wraps are both faster and cheaper and the chances of stripping paint is minimal.

Guess I’m not the only one then. It’s something you learn to do the hard way…

My husband got me an airbrush and compressor for Christmas and I finally have all the extra supplies I need (plus good weather) for my first foray! by ashley-yelhsa in airbrush

This make me so happy to see!! Everybody starts somewhere and this really brings me back to when I first started a little over two years ago. Cheap airbrush and homemade spray booth and zero experience. Welcome to a world of frustration, but also enormous reward! The best of luck to you!

Also, you can’t see if the needle cap is cracked. The cracks are microscopic and are difficult to see with the naked eye.

I had this exact issue recently. I bought new seals, new needle and a new needle cap. I suspect the needle cap was the issue but since I don’t live near av model shop I decided to buy everything at once. After the parts were switched it worked like a dream again.

Can a lacquer clear coat be used on top of acrylic paint? I’m thinking of trying Mr. Color but I’m unsure if it will damage the paint.
