First Time Airbrushing Splash Paints

The weather was right so I started out with some spoon test and all went well so I got after it. This is just some Great paint to shoot. I'm really pleased with Splash Paints.

No Drips No Runs No Errors You Hit It Out Of The Park.

[@olezippi]

Thank's Jim. Splash Paint is very easy to work with.

[@lancerevell5979]

I have been doing some spoon tests, to see how different primers, paints and clears play together. Some results have been very surprising! Glad I learned this tip before ruining another car body paintjob. 😎👍

[@olezippi]

I do the same thing. Especially when I'm wanting a candy effect.

[@JHartModelworks]

Awesome. Splash and scale finishes have become my go to body paints. They are both fantastic every time.

[@olezippi]

Yes Sir. It's kooking good. Thanks for watching.

[@TerryWilsonModels]

Splash is by far my favorite paint. Lays down great.

[@olezippi]

I hear ya man. I'm diggin it. What's the cure time on this paint?

[@DonzHFCustomz]

I agree, looks very good.

[@olezippi]

Yes Sir. Much obliged.

[@alancyr3100]

Looking good! Can't wait to see it with clear.

[@olezippi]

Hanks. I'm hoping it turns out nice.

[@ronstewart9792]

Looking great Zippi, Can't wait to see the clear on it. Should look as good as Ruby. Ron

[@olezippi]

Oh yeah. Don't know if I can match Ruby. Thanks for coming by.

[@dragonfreak123]

That looks really nice!!!

[@olezippi]

I believe it does also. Thanks for watching.

[@ronzufelt1428]

Looks great. Yes Splash paints are awesome.. I use them.

[@olezippi]

Thank's. I'll be shooting the clear on today.

[@steveriley1995]

Looks great buddy, can't wait to see it cleared.

[@olezippi]

Thanks Steve. I'm shooting the clear on today. Haven't seen you at the Cruise-in's lately.

[@redbarnmodelworks1115]

Looks sharp!

[@olezippi]

Thanks Don.

[@1968fordman]

What a cool color! I can't wait to get an airbrush so I can try splash paints!

[@olezippi]

Thanks Will. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Getting an airbrush was a game changer for me.

[@1968fordman]

@olezippi Yeah, I bet! I love Tamiya rattle cans. But you're limited with color options, especially with the muscle car models, which are my favorites!

[@ramblers69]

Looks great Bob, Splash is a nice product, 😎👍

[@olezippi]

It is Tom. I'm very pleased with the outcome. I appreciate the tip on the psi to shoot it at.

[@ramblers69]

@@olezippi Glad it worked for you buddy

[@olezippi]

What's the cure time before hitting it with clear?

[@ramblers69]

@@olezippi Give it a couple days to be safe

[@olezippi]

Thanks Buddy.

[@linkpoison5511]

That looks great Zippi. I painted my first model with my airbrush. I used Tamiya acrylic paint and mixed it 2 to 1. As I was spraying I was thinking I might not have to mix the Tamiya paint. Your spray booth looks like mine. TOGUSH. Have a great day brother.

[@olezippi]

Thanks man. I can't remember the name of my spraybooth. I bought the cheapest one out there with dual fans because of the size. You have a Great day as well.

[@Bubbasmodelcarshop]

Nice looking color. its going to look sweet with some clear on it zippi.

[@olezippi]

Thanks Bubba. I'm hoping for a sweet turn out on this one.

[@themediocremodeler-zm7ny]

Really nice-looking paint job. Man I got to try that.

[@olezippi]

Thanks. Give it a shot. It went down nice and smooth.

[@garyparker2969]

👍👍👍👍 GB 🙏🤗 Gary.

[@olezippi]

I appreciate ya making the trip to watch Gary.

[@thebeardedguyjefflawless5887]

Looks good Zippi.........I may have to try it out........have a good one buddy

[@olezippi]

Thank's man. I got with Splash Paints about cure time and was told 2 hrs was more than enough time. It's been 24 hrs so I'm going to shoot the clear urethane on today.

[@Leadfootkurtis]

Splash paints are fantastic so far in my experience.

[@olezippi]

Yes Sir. In my experience as well.

[@Leadfootkurtis]

@@olezippi I haven’t tried scale finishes yet, but from what I’ve been told it’s just as awesome

[@smithgroove945]

Looking good brother.

[@olezippi]

Thanks Ed.

[@ghrobbs]

I didn't have good luck with it on my first go around. Once I learned what I did wrong, it too has the egg shell look & no crazing this time.

[@olezippi]

Well, glad you got it figured out. Splash Paints seem like a good product.

[@CarLighingSystem]

Great jobe as usual

[@olezippi]

I appreciate it Buddy. Thank's for coming by.

[@modelcarmadness5119]

I knew you would like that paint, me personally, I'd use their 2K clear. I use automotive 2K on everything, you can't beat the shine, but it is hazardous to use, you should wear a respirator.

[@olezippi]

Yup, going to shoot the 2K Urethane on today. The bad thing about their clear is I don't think I'd be able to use it in the winter time out in the garage.

[@danielpaulsness6951]

Looks good 😊......now a clear coat 😁 unless you wet sand it

[@olezippi]

No wet sanding. Just going to hit it with the clear then wet sand and polish.

[@danielpaulsness6951]

@@olezippi good to know thanks 😁

[@AChickenEar]

Is it lacquer or what??

[@olezippi]

Solvent based lacquer paint from what I've read.

[@AChickenEar]

@@olezippi thanks, I love lacquer and 2k clear.
