UPDATE: airbrush painting

Hello All,

 

Hey I thought I would stop by and let you know how I am doing. A few months back I post questions about using a air brush to apply paints and finishes. Man it is fantastic. I would really recommend it to you people that never tried it. So this is what I learned on my adventure :D . Not all airbrushes are created equal! I started out by buying a Harbor freight double action airbrush "junk" for the most part it worked but when I went to clean it :grr: it was a head ache.I had to take the whole needle out and when I did the trigger would fall apart a and man it was a nightmare. so the last time I put it back together it would not work. So I was in search of a new one. I have been following a airbrush forum and learning along the way. I went out shopping, I ended up buying a Paasche "H" single action airbrush and let me tell you WOW what a difference it is from the HF one. The reason I bought the single action type is cause for what I do ( one base color). If you were going to paint mural on a car then yes by all means you would want the best that there is out there. the tip can be adjusted to a very fine line so you could paint eyes on your project. I use my big compressor out in the garage for the air brush. The compressor it is loud but it works. I am cheap I did not want to spend the money for a little bitty airbrush compressor. you must have a out put regulator on your compressor. you will only run around 30-50 psi... And less them 30 psi if you use the little gravity feed cup. I have found out that I personally like using oil base paint. I can thin it better than acrylic paint. but that is just me. you might watch some you tube videos if you think you might want to explore this. Well I hope someone will find this post useful. If you go on a search you will find that there is really no information for airbrushing for woodworking.
