I have just using rattle cans

Ah, I forgot this video was about craft paints, there's a solid 15mins of talking about airbrushes, brands, upkeep, etc. I should have paid attention to the chapter labels. I worked with a heavy body white out of a tube the other day, used my homemade thinner to work it down a bit, just manually mixing it, but then I poured that into a dropper bottle with some ball bearings and let the vortex mixer finish smoothing it out. It worked pretty well!

Thanks for posting! I’ve been building models over 40 years now and I have to admit, I’m starting to drift in the direction of giving these cheap craft paints a try, especially since I’m getting burned out paying an arm and leg for model paints! I was in a local Hobbytown USA recently and some paints they have go for 6 to 9 dollars for a puny bottle! 😳 That is absurd. Aside from that these model companies had better get their heads out of their 🫏-es. For years, I have contacted them suggesting ideas for new kits only to never hear nothing in return. My fix for that? I’ve been recently looking at resin 3-D printers...if they don’t want to help and only want to charge a premium for their models, then I will start to make my own! I’ve also suggested ideas for resin upgrades, never got a response either and I can make those to. My apologies for soapboxing but it’s high time these model companies were called out for their shenanigans. Sooner or later they’re going to price themselves right out of business.

Thanks for sharing 👏👏

They are having issues with the new hose. They will send a new one if you experience the issue.

What equipment would you recommend that is less noisy on air compressor I did this in art school back in the day...and it is a patience and learning process. If you make a mistake...you have to start all over...not good..not good. Great informative channel. Appreciate your input 👌 Much blessings 🙌 Happy air brushing.😎😎💪💪💪

it'd be nice if you validated the psi with a gauge

I recently bought a airbrush kit, 3 airbrushes and a compressor. Nice kit but, in the directions they strongly recommend using distilled water when cleaning and reducing the paint. Why is that and should I only use distilled water?

Hey Paul, I've been looking around for the paint strainer you use and for the life of me I can't find it anywhere Amazon eBay or Google search.can you point me In the right direction?

Great video, Paul! That car is awesome. I already have mine. The price of Carrera Cars increases with time. If you don't buy them when they are in stock, you will probably find them more expensive.

Hi Paul - could you perhaps do a video on cleaning the airbrush (i.e. taking it apart).... I watched your vid and decided to buy the kit but this airbrush does NOT come apart the same way as usual ones - the secondary trigger isn't directly removable!! so I managed to get the thing apart and then couldn't put it back together again! (spoiler alert: you have to kind of screw it back together) and apologies - I only noticed your affiliate link now - my bad...

I'm starting airbrushing and watched dozens of beginner and advanced videos, most on much bigger channels. There were many good videos, few bad ones, but this video was by far the best. There was no other video that could show all the important basics in just 45 minutes and i did not find anything wrong about your techniques. I still learned some new things, e.g. noone i watched explained, that you measure working pressure, while the trigger is pushed (even though it feels absolutely logical, after you showed it).

Unfortunately after a couple moths of light use my unit died on me and I provided videos to their Customer support but all they did was lie to me and show me pictures of someone elses order saying they had refunded me. Not the least bit impressed by these guys Paul, they even removed my review of it on Amazon. Do not trust this company.

😲YOW!!!! It's as if the air-brush company watched your old video and then three months later released the new and improved model based on that viewing!!!!!😜

I know this is an old video, but i still hope someone can answer my (noob) question. I live in the Netherlands and i found that artists are using gesso primer for their canvas. After looking online i found someone who used the gesso primer also with a brush on warhammer models. Here they have "Van Bleiswijck gesso primer" and it is very cheap compared to e.g. vallejo primer. But i am not sure if it would be possible to use a thinned version of this gesso primer on model cars and airplanes.

I like the blue. Nice video and thanks for sharing. Dave

Okay so either I buy a $200 from Amazon or a $5000 laser to build my own?

External mixes have their place. Thick paints, laying down primers on very large scale models or crafting, cosplay and DIY items.

Super glad I got your video recommended into my feed. I had just bought a 20” box fan and filter from Walmart to make a diy ventilation system. I have lots of spare computer components from when I used to build them and lots of spare plywood. I’ll just need to buy a 12v battery pack and use 18650s I have laying around as well.

hi enjoyed this video, i am 75 just starting and very frustrated, i am going to have a look at more of your content. many thanks john h,

There is a paint company called Turbo Dork. They have a color shifting metallic paint that looks awesome. Very chunky, but I made it work in an airbrush gun.

Seems my previous comment didn't post or something, I suggest a transparent two tone effect with blue as base and green as a translucent to give it that yellowish hue from different light conditions.

Cool, does it really deliver that 50psi?

Blue

Green!!!

Blue

Where did get that orange tray? That looks pretty neat.

poision green

Green!

I’m liking the green and I’d definitely fill in the hood holes too.

Blue

Of the two colors, I'd choose green. I'd also say fill in the hood area before painting. I'm not an HO racer, but I'd be inclined to round over the sharp inner edges of the tires. I'd hope all those small snap-in plastic parts stay in place after the car sees some use. Otherwise, you end up with a beautiful looking shelf queen. Have you already built other Auto World kits?

Pink with gray ghost stripes.

I am a lady and I also have a tip that works really well and it is very inexpensive. My children had bb guns when they were young so I realized early on through thinning my nail polish and they contained what appeared to be bb's so I just buy bbs because there are so many in the container and will last a lifetime.

I bought one of these new kits, where can I find a .2mm nozzle and needle for the OVAGA newer airbrush?

😮😮 very cool!!

Great tips thank you! Going to try wwf in my next paint mix. 😊 edit to add, can i use wwf alone to thin or do i need to use distilled water with it as well?

Just bought my 1st airbrush.Waiting on it to come in the mail. Your video has been super helpful. Especially with the assembly/disassembly of the brush itself. Just subscribed. Looking forward to seeing More videos. Keep up the good work 👍

It seems to me that the 55psi would be for running 2 airbrushes at the same time as that would give each brush around 27.5psi maybe.

Yeah those createx paints are more like $10 per bottle. LOL

Good stuff buddy 👍 👏 👌

I suppose the detergent in the washing fluid acts as a dispersion agent while the alcohol in the washer as a thinning agent.

👍👍😎

Im gonna try to buy this for my first airbrush kit. My dad and i bought a 1/35 tnk and 1/350 ship. We did not know we had to paint it. Searched what to do in youtube and found u. Hopes this works.

Smart and simple, love it thumbs up 👍

This is great idea and one of the least expensive and quick ways to put up a backdrop. I did this about a year ago with a plain blue roll, cutting it into two two foot wide pieces. Then used white and grey spray primer to make clouds.

Awesome video. 👍 My track looks just like yours. Nice job.

Great idea on the backdrop. Thank you for another entertaining video.

great review. i to like to use carrera slots ,great company. i also use great traditions hobby, another great hobby store.

Great video easy style to follow and very detailed. THe Hobo freight fortress compressors are really quiet and surprisingly good.
