Welcome, thanks for watching!

[@anitahealy9011]

What a great intro video! My husband passed away from cancer a few years ago and I have been slowly going through his stuff. I came across his single and dual action Iwata & Badger air guns. I think the compressor has seen better days and the Createx inks have dried so I ordered some supplies from amazon. Once I have a full setup I will be referring to your videos. So thanks again from a beginner :)

[@atoiler1389]

Hello and thank you very much for posting your video(s). I find them very helpful. I am hoping you could help me with a couple of questions. I have a smaller antique safe that was my grandfathers. The paint is badly worn off. I will be sanding the entire safe and I plan on repainting it and adding a bit of art. I have NEVER used an airbrush! I would appreciate any suggestions for the following:
1) what BLACK colored paint product to spray the entire safe with once it is sanded to bare steel?
2) what paint product to use in my air sprayer?
3) what paint product to spray over the entire safe, in order to give it a clear coat as protection for the black paint and the artwork?
Thank you very much in advance, it is appreciated!

[@danperkins1533]

I just got my first airbrush today and started watching your video I am very impressed great video thank you

[@CreatexColors]

Thank you for watching!

[@robertcarlton1633]

Another great lesson. This is exactly what I was looking for, drills. I'd hate to price my way out of quality education but, these lessons should be expensive. Scott knocks it out of the park again. Thank you, Scott; you're saving me money and time. Now, if you would excuse me, I have drills to work on.

[@CreatexColors]

Excellent! Thank you for watching.

[@ThinAirGraFx]

Thanks man. I’ll remember to put some more Pay stuff up there :). 😆😆

[@RCrawlerLeon]

Hi Scott MacKay
You mentioned that you are using the iwata eclipse cs airbrush, which needle has the airbrush. Thanks P.D. I see you used that 5 mm needle. Very thanks for this video.
I am learning to use Createx Colors paints

[@luechmillionz]

Good stuff bro

[@CreatexColors]

thank you

[@thekryptoniancritic2327]

Thanks brotha! I just started using my first basic airbrush and it was clogging up and spitting paint and now I think it’s because I turn the air off before the needle retracts :) I needed to hear that thanks again and stay safe!

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for letting us know this video was helpful!

[@Airbrush208]

Thanks Scott best tutorial on the internet, I've committed to 48 large rolls of paper towels and hopefully not to long of a time to perfect my lettering it has been my week point way to long, I'm going to conquer it or else really holding me back, thank you so very much.

[@CreatexColors]

Awesome! Thanks for watching.

[@pdxwildchildroberts5586]

[@CreatexColors]

[@pdxwildchildroberts5586]

Heyyy Scott..great vid💯..but I can't find "Letters for Beginners"vid..did I overlook it❓is there a link❓...thx👍🇺🇸

[@zzsql]

Good stuff. Thanks. Wish I had watched this years ago lol

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for letting us know this was helpful.

[@karenoswald8035]

Great video. Just got my first brush. Do you have a video on what to do if paint stops coming out?

[@CreatexColors]

Our videos on how-to clean your airbrush and how-to thin Createx paints for airbrush may be helpful, th-cam.com/video/mvkpq0CAYII/w-d-xo.html. Also, keeping the air on while painting, pulling back for paint, but keeping trigger pressed down to keep air flowing, helps not only eliminate tip-dry but keep the paint flowing while painting. Thank you.

[@ninafranklin1354]

How do you prevent overspray by freehand it scripted font?

[@EverythingOutdoors]

Thank you . I'm picking up my first brush as well. I never want to practice and that is a mistake. lol

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@ItsAWonderfulKnife]

"So let's do another line here..."
NOW we're airbrushing!

[@johnnybrigham8754]

Scott what air brush were you using for this make and model thanks.

[@CreatexColors]

Iwata Eclipse HP-CS. Thank you.

[@claudiomarin6291]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, can I use my 30 gallon compressor with the regulator turned down to low psi? And thanks for the awsome vid man! Helped out a ton!

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, but you'll be much better off with an air regulator between the air compressor and airbrush so a constant air pressure can be maintained. Thank you.

[@claudiomarin6291]

Nice! thank you sir!

[@danperkins1533]

PS lol I am going to use my airbrush for painting styrene models so I don't know how much any of this will apply to that but I'm hoping learning that muscle memory will help me

[@CreatexColors]

This applies to all airbrush applications. Thank you.

[@larrycuyler1969]

What is the paper that you e to display your designs in your shop

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@bennydelarosa6696]

What type of paint you use for cars

[@CreatexColors]

Wicked Colors, mixed with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, creatextech.com/assets/html/pages/hard-surface-and-automotive-guide.html

[@youtuup]

Is it possible to tell me which aircompressor you are using here? It's really quiet!

[@CreatexColors]

We use a Flexilla 10-HP, 120 gallon, 2-stage air compressor puts out 40 CFM as shown in our spray-facility tour video, th-cam.com/video/NekPfIhw9nU/w-d-xo.html. Thank you.

[@stevemccready6776]

What's up Scott ? 🤙

[@ThinAirGraFx]

Spreading a little basic knowledge 😁

[@aseana2372]

I'm an artist and I was told by my airbrushing dad lol tha airbrushing is way easier than drawing or painting. And when I tried it I WAS HORRIBLE LOL. I spent over 1300 on airbrush equipment so I have to get this right 😅

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for watching!

[@trimmin420]

im guessing air on air off is not the same as wax on wax off
