How to airbrush 3D prints, the basics

On this episode of 3D paint, I wanted to share the basics of airbrushing of a 3d print I did of the hulk. I was trying out my new big resin 3d printer and went with the Incredible Hulk raging out. I thought it would be a great candidate to show you guy’s how I airbrush. He didn’t print as good as i would like but it was good enough for practice and to show you the basics of airbrushing. I know airbrushing looks intimidating, it really isn’t. It’s like any other art skill you have to learn. You have to buy supplies, learn how the paint works and how to apply them. Once you get down to the basics, it actually makes the process a lot easier. The paints blend so well, but it almost feels like cheating. If you have been putting off learning how to airbrush and you do want to learn, this is the video for you. So let’s put some paint on those 3d prints you have been printing.

Is it always from dark to light colour? Or is it depends on miniature itself?

[@3dpaint885]

Sometimes it’s opposite depending on the pains.

I have a PLA print from FDM machine, and when I paint it with a airbrush the color does not adhere to the product and becomes like water. is there a solution? Note that if I increase the percentage of paint in airbrush, nothing will come out of the airbrush. Sorry I'm new to this so I have a lot of questions 😂. Thank you.

Learning about this stuff today. Are you using a primer?

[@3dpaint885]

Did you prime the PLA?

I don't know if you've already figured out the answer to your question, I would say use the XTC - 3-D epoxy mix, it's supposed to fill in all the print lines and all that stuff so you can prime and then airbrush to your hearts content lol
