    Hey Carsten - Like I said before, you are an awesome video instructor. Keep up the great work and content. I highly recommend this channel to anyone who airbrushes no matter what skill level. My mantra is never stop learning... for those who don’t watch regularly, or are beginning are brushing, Carsten doesn’t use the airbrush cap. This is a great trick that allows you to get ultra fine lines, stippling and freehand textures, just to mention a few of the effects. But it does take practice to get used to working without a cap (not hitting something and damaging the needle tip is one thing) Watching these videos has convinced me to all but toss my air-caps in the bin... I still have a few caps I use... but not that many... thanks again!!!

    Just got my first airbrush after 25 years of being mad about them. (Had a hand pump cheap dual action trigger gun) Spent a couple days messing with it, with an understanding of how to use a spray gun. Nice to see these videos backing what I was 'figuring' out by trial and error! Thanks for the videos, subscribing, and if I stick with it, I'll definitely take your course!

    I'm new to air brushing. And I needed a few quick tips. I have a double action and a single action airbrushes. The single action needs a few adapter pieces to use the same airline.
    My first use is that I'm trying to repair some parts I painted with a rattle can. There were hard to reach areas that had no coverage, and I'm hoping an airbrush will save me. If I put a heavy coat with the spray can, it would've caused runs and ruined my parts.
    But I'll practice a while until trying to fix my previous mistake.

You have fantastic control and clearly very talented.

    I have a silly question. (Probably silly lol)
    I've been using spray paint to paint hunting gear but I'm ready to graduate to airbrush (I just bought one)
    My question is, can I still use a clear coat on too with spray paint? Once I'm done painting with the airbrush, it needs a protective coat, especially since the paint is water based.
    Would there be a weird interaction with the clear spray paint?
    Another question: using spray paint, there is always a base layer, let's say black. Can I still use spray paint for that or does it need to be with the airbrush paint?
    Thank you!! I've watched a lot of your videos, I think I'm ready to do this 😊

    I do galaxy spray paint art and have always struggled getting my planets to look more 3d so this should definitely help me out with improving my technique.

      I suggest learning some shading basics! Learn how to paint different opacities, and different light sources.

      @@lynaplusbeetle thank you. I don't have an air brush so I'll have to see what I can do with rattle cans.
