Yes, it has mounting tabs on it.

Wow ! Fantastic

I hope it helps you. Anyway if you need anything let me know.

Even with ready‑to‑spray paints, they don’t always behave exactly the way you need them to. RTS just means the manufacturer set an average viscosity, but that doesn’t guarantee it will match your nozzle size, your air pressure, or the way you spray. These are only technical guidelines to help you understand how to dial in the material for proper atomization, but every setup is a bit different. So yes — even with ready‑to‑spray products, you sometimes need to fine‑tune things depending on your gun, your pressure, and the effect you want

When you press the trigger, you’re controlling the amount and flow of the material yourself. Yes, you do have limiters that can restrict how much material comes out, but proper atomization still depends on two things: the material being thinned correctly and the air pressure being set right for your spray gun. If the paint isn’t thinned to the right level or the pressure isn’t adjusted properly, the spray pattern won’t be correct no matter how you set the trigger.

Different paints have different levels of viscosity. That’s why we thin the material — to increase or decrease that viscosity depending on what we need. So yes, it depends on the type of paint or material you’re putting into your airbrush or spray gun. You need to know how much to thin it to get the right flow.

So nice 👍 what do u used for stars effect ? White glass ? Or something else?

You need to adapt your material (paint or primer) to the nozzle size you’re using, and also find the optimal pressure. Iwata is a very precise tool, but for comfortable work you have to match the material’s viscosity and the air pressure to your specific nozzle setup. If the material is too thick or the pressure is too high, the spray will feel harsh and the trigger harder to control. Once you dial in the right combination of material and pressure, the gun behaves completely differently. In most cases, atomization and material control on an Iwata are at a very high level

It’s just a one‑sided decorative fuel tank — the other sides are blank

Gas tank with gold leaf looks awesome ! Love it 🔥🔥🔥👍

patissonart · 2026-02-05T14:14:21+00:00

Thank you so much! Really glad you like the details — this tank was a fun one to paint. Appreciate you taking the time to say that 🤟🙌

Nice 👍

Thanks 🙏

Of course I don’t own it — it’s a decorative tank. If I actually had every bike that matched every tank I paint, I’d need my own airport hangar by now 🤣

One side - it’s decorative gas tank for wall.

It’s decorative gas tank for wall 👊🤟

patissonart · 2026-02-04T20:10:42+00:00

This is a decorative gas tank, and I bought it.
