  • On this week’s episode, Brad and Eric talk everything you need to know about owning an Airbrush. What's the pros and cons of the most common brands and models? How to clean it? Which additional tools are great to have and which are of not much use? That and much more brought to you by many Saturdays of filming in the basement and getting angry at cameras.

    Using a painting respirator is still recommended, you can develop something called 'painters lung' because the paint particles can adhere to your lungs. If that builds up enough you are in trouble.

      @BloodWolfXZ Місяць тому

      Definitely this. Even solid, non-reactive particles are bad to have in your lungs. You're supposed to wear a mask in a dust/sand storm for a very good reason.
      You don't need a full on Darth Vader paint respirator, just an n95 should be fine. And do vent your cardboard box outside, don't be an animal. Put the box itself in the windowsill if you have to.

    • @Boljarin
      @Boljarin Місяць тому

      @@tankmlee there are more ways to reduce your quality of life, and even die, than just cancer. Google "painters lung and lung emphysema" to learn more about painters lung and what it can cause. If you want to keep spraying without an painting respirator that's on you, but information should be out there that it's not without risk. Even if you just use acrylic paints. The quality of paints doesn't matter because the airbrush turns the paint into a particle mist that wants to adhere to stuff, that's the whole point. Your lungs are not immune to this.
      At the very least use a high quality dust mask. But $$$ wise a good quality 3M painting mask is cheaper than a box of Flayed Ones these days. You would be shocked to see how quickly the filters on a 3M turn dark because all the paint it catches.

    I drive a cab, and I listen to podcasts while doing so because radio stations suck. I was listening to this episode when I picked up a painter - paint smearedwhite clothes, and all - from the casino. He didn't say much on the ride to the office he was remodeling/living in(?), but at the end, when he got out, he slurred, "Airbrushin' ain't nothin'. You're better off just buying the thousand dollar one and getting it over with."
    So, there you have it, folks. Advice from a real-life professional painter.

    Dirty little secret - The Iwata Eclipse isn't actually made by Iwata - its made by a company in Japan called Fuso Seiki. The same company makes Mr Hobby and Tamiya-branded brushes in the same factory and probably on the same assembly lines.

    @MikeScarbro Місяць тому +10

    The Iwata Eclipse HP-CS is my daily driver and I have zero complaints. It's an excellent airbrush and I've had no problems using it for going on 5 years now. In fact, I also bought a H&S Infinity a couple of years ago and I prefer the Iwata. It's less fussy than the Infinity, but it isn't as good for detail work. I would heartily recommend the Iwata Eclipse as a starter airbrush to anyone interested in trying it out.

  • @khanayudash2475
    @khanayudash2475 Місяць тому +7

    You absolutely should get a compressor with a tank - I actually use a Kobalt compressor from Lowes. It's a little louder than an airbrush compressor, but really solid for the price (and for the pressure it hits). Built in regulator, and the tank helps deal with water in the line if you happen to be in a humid environment, while also giving you more consistent pressure

    • @khanayudash2475
      @khanayudash2475 Місяць тому +1

      To be clear, the tank holds 120 PSI, the regulator drops that from 120 in the tank to 25-35 at the brush while I work. Also highly recommend a particuulate filter for every compressor, most airbrush compressors come with one already attached, shop style ones generally don't, they cost less than $10.

  • @FinxOmally
    @FinxOmally Місяць тому +4

    Thanks guys for this video!
    Couple things to add from experience.
    - I never use an extraction hood personally, so anyone worried about space, you don’t have to worry too much. As every drop of paint is dry within about 18in from the nozzle. Benefits of living somewhere with low humidity, HOWEVER you will need to vacuum the area the day after and you will notice a fine soot in the colours you were using. Use this information as you will.
    - Remember, if unsure about what airbrush you want and are considering investing. Buying a pretty nice one will allow you to resell at a decent price to recoup your money if you drop the hobby or really don’t like airbrushing for some reason. I went for the Harder and Steenbeck Ultra 2024, as has all the fancy notches Brad was talking about (and are pretty meh at best) but it will not let you skip the L shape movement they talked about which can cause clogs.
    And was $150. Luckily I really liked it so don’t have to sell it.
    - Buy a nozzle cleaning kit. They’re dirt cheap and save an insane amount of time, it’s pretty much a nozzle shaped blade that will scoop out any gunk or dried paint from not quite flushing 100% out in your last session within the nozzle, handy for when you’re starting as you will likely block it at some point. Some people just use the needle to try and scrape out or shove the blockage through the tip, but that’s risking damaging something. They cost $6 on Amazon and commonly bundled with the cleaning pot Brad recommends as a nice stand (I have that pot too and also use it as a nice stand)
    I just need to learn how to use it for finer details, but it all takes time.

    • @UriskOfTheFae
      @UriskOfTheFae Місяць тому

      Yes! The nozzle cleaning needle has been invaluable to me. It's also super useful, for this with Iwata airbrushed, to have one with the notch for taking the nozzle on and off to avoid shearing the dummy delicate threads (and proceeding to throw a hissy fit over the thing for three weeks afterwards. Totally not still salty about my own mistakes.)

    When I was young, I built and painted model airplanes and tanks with my dad, occasionally using his syphon air brush.
    Now I use that same compressor with an Iwata Eclipse, its probably a 25+ year old compressor.
    I cant quite dial in the PSI appropriately, but I think its shooting my paint at 20+ psi, this being my key issue in my setup.
    This wonderful discussion made it clear; yeah, I need a new compressor.
    Thanks for a comprehensive guide and discussing differences between the cheap and up airbrushes!

    Regarding fume hood options - I picked up the smallest Wagner spray tent (which is still like 3 feet tall or something), shoved a spare box fan behind it and a cheap HVAC filter in front of that and then set up my station up in front of the same window that is my vent location for my printer (which is fully enclosed and ventilated because apartment). Was maybe $50 factoring in the box fan that I just...had sitting around. Half the price of a dedicated fume hood and still better than a cardboard box.
    That said, getting started a cardboard box with an old sheet on the ground is fine, I'd be more worried about having a cheap particle respirator or mask for when you varnish, metallics or do any oil stuff before a fume hood.

    I accidentally bent the tip of the .4 needle on my noname airbrush and very gently bent it back. It still works great. If you're scared of breaking your expensive airbrush, it's a lot harder to break than you think. This was the biggest thing for me to get over when I started - just the fear of USING the thing, haha.

  • @Gakusangi

    I also started with a Youfu portable to practice airbrushing, that's amazing! I gifted it to my older brother after I upgraded my stuff. I DID do compressor to airbrush just to be sure that it had enough air pressure. Also, it's definitely got an airbrush by definition alone, Master I use now is so much better all around.
    My workhorse is still a Master G233 ($40), which is about as budget as you can get with an airbrush that isn't just "an airbrush by definition". I also use a Master Compressor with a 3 Liter tank and dual fans ($140 - $150). Between these two, you have everything you need, a working airbrush with 3 different needle/nozzle sizes, a hose, holsters and a adjustable air pressure that runs pretty quiet. The parts for the airbrush are also easily replaced in case of anything that happens, because for $12 you can get a whole new set of nozzles and needles. I do have the very same Neo, Hobby Lobby carries them and their replacement needles and nozzles.
    I also built a DIY spray booth, I don't use anything that's particularly toxic, but I still encourage using a respirator, paint particles aren't fun in your lungs. I use a thinner and cleaner combo that was shared by Barbatos Rex, I like it a lot more than store bought thinners and store cleaners are TOXIC and hurt my lungs and made me dizzy. My little bro and I made the booth with a cheap, cardboard box, a headlamp, a furnace filter and a box fan. Grand total for most of it is like $25, the headlamp is the most expensive part.
    Don't get something like a California air compressor, it's all purpose, WAY more than you ever need for a hobby, has a lot more upkeep and no basic hookups for airbrushes since it'll do everything form airbrushing, to filling your tires to blowing the leaves off your driveway.

  • @koobsoon224

    I bought a Chinese airbrush for an equivalent of about $30 six or seven years ago (not in USA), and it did very well for all the years, considering I used it like a neanderthal for most of its life. I primed and base coated many tanks I did before I got into Warhammer and 1.5k of Salamanders SM with it. After all the years, I can't imagine priming and base coating without it. I'm seriously considering upgrading soon.
    Airbrushing is the way!

    As someone without an indoor space to airbrush at the moment, having one of the battery powered portable compressors that I can just walk outside with has been great. I bought one of the "nicer" Amazon airbrush kits and didn't have the problems of the youfu, but I only use the airbrush for priming and base coating so I'm not really pushing it.

    Glad to hear yall talk about the infinity, it feels like the darling of the mini painting airbrush for good reason I love mine and it feels like the perfect endgame IF you want to start painting beyond simple priming and base coating.
    It shocked me how much more ergonomic an airbrush could actually be, that trigger is NICE (agreed that the lock isn't great, has only been useful for me for priming just to brain off very set a very far back lock so I can semi full blast the primer)

    One of my favorite compresses are the larger quiet compressors from Husky etc. Ones that are used more so in garages for tools etc. It’s roughly 65 decibels but once it’s filled you’re going to spend a long time going through the two tanks before it has to fill again. I use the Husky 3320445
    Much less humidity in the chamber etc since it’s constantly not running and getting hot etc.

    @40:00 Regarding having something block your hand from going back too far to have too much paint go through, H&S made the ULTRA which as an external collar you can move around with different allowances for the trigger to go back.
    So you could buy the newest ULTRA and then use the collar to control your trigger pull for fine detail, priming, etc.

    12 years ago I bought my first airbrush, it was an Iwata kit with an oil free compressor (no maintenance) and a double action gravity feed .35mm airbrush (Eclipse), plus some books and paints. The whole thing was $400 CAD and there weren't many other options at the time, if I was buying today it could have been a lot cheaper. That said, it's still chugging along like a champ and I'm still using the original airbrush.
    I also bought a siphon feed airbrush (Neo) for doing priming, which was probably overkill but very useful when doing speedpaint projects. Water builds up in the line because the compressor gets hot, hot air holds more water. The line is colder than the compressor, so the air cools and water condenses out of the air inside the line. Be sure to blast the empty airbrush before you start using paint to get any condensed water out of it.
    What I recommend to people getting an airbrush:
    1.) Filter mask > dust mask > no mask. Don't breathe the dust.
    2.) Empty 17mm dropper bottles and tiny funnels (off Amazon) for mixing paint outside of the airbrush cup. They are cheap. I get stickers and write the formula on the bottle for future reference.
    3.) Liquitex White Ink for zenithal pre-shading works way better than white paint.
    4.) Don't forget your compressor needs to cool down occasionally. If it feels hot, stop.
    5.) You need to thin paint way more than when using a regular brush. Like some paints I'll thin down 1:1 with water. Most paints it's like 1 part water 2 parts paint. Some brands come pre-thinned, but GW Air paints still need a bit of thinning.
