  • My take on airbrush basics & control, where everyone needs to start, with the basics. I cover Lines, Dots, shading, 3D objects and most importantly, "The Dagger" stroke. I also touch upon air pressure and mixing paint. Subscribe for more Airbrush tips, tricks and "How To's". It is my goal to help you speed up your learning process by having you avoid the mistakes I have made by trial and error. I also want to help you make some "Do It Yourself" accessories for around your Airbrush shop to make your project easier and save some money.

    I’ve learned to paint cars, but never done airbrushing. I just bought one from a cheap website, and it didn’t work even after reducing the paint it wouldn’t spray. I bought a more expensive one from harbor freight, and it sprayed better than the other one. I was really trying to get an Iwata but the prices deterred me from that 😅. Thanks for the tips I found the airbrush rather harder than a car paint gun, but it may all be due to the airbrush gun I have being cheaper.

    • @TheAirbrushGarage

    Just be wary of brand fanboi-isms. Iwata's are Illustrator brushes mostly and are designed and used over seas as such with Inks and water based media. The .3 or .35 like the eclipse are good for acrylics but nothing much thicker like enamels, which at .3 almost need to be way over thinned to push through. Iwata brushes popularity and small needles were why Testors enamels got such a bad rep, that and people not knowing how to properly thin enamels. Iwatas weren't designed for thicker Enamels and luckily I have amassed a large stash of formerly tossed Iwata Airbrushes because people thought they were ruined by the enamels being left in them. I still find gunked up ones for 5 bux at goodwill or thrift stores that are basically brand new.
    Basically you decide what you are going to work with and get an appropriate Airbrush for said needs. .5 needle units are for thicker media and can still get fine details but are best for large area painting. .1 to .18 are for inks mainly, washes and water colors. .2 to .35 works will all media up to Acrylics and Lacquers and thinner Oils (Not Thick oils or enamels), though inks can be used they will require PSI adjusting and in this mode mostly broad coverage use. .5 for Enamels and Oils. This isn't Holy scripture just a general guideline, you can use your brush for many medias out there but will have to play with mixing ratios and PSI just note you can thin only so far before pigment loss and paint types not behaving correctly.
    In no way is Iwata better or worse than Badger, Paasche and other mid range brand equivalents, all are quality tools and some simply have a better value per dollar in their packages than others. Iwata is like Apple, you pay a lot more for the branding for what's included. You can't go wrong with having an Eclipse lying about, though my Patriot 105 with all 3 needle sets is my main workhorse and the H&S Infinity I have for the small detail work as I mainly paint MOdel Cars/Planes and wargame mini's, the Eclipse is just too large in most cases other than coating and shading.

      ETLFC, I am not familiar with Croma but it is the same for anything you put through an Airbrush. It has to be thin enough for you to get consistent flow. Most paints are not thin enough right out of the bottle, but your airbrush tip size will play a factor as well. It really is a matter of experimenting to find that sweet spot. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.

    • @TheAirbrushGarage
      @TheAirbrushGarage  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Adaam, I have no idea as I do not work with that type of medium. But, an airbrush will spray anything that can properly flow through it. Since it is oil based paint, make sure the brush is solvent proof, meaning it has the Teflon needle packing and not a rubber O ring because you will need a solvent cleaner to clean oil based paint. Most brushes are solvent proof, but make sure before you buy one. hope this helps.

    Thx for the video. To clarify, when you make dagger stokes, you get the thinner part of the dagger by moving the gun closer to the surface, or by reducing the air flow? or by a combinatino of both?

    • @TheAirbrushGarage
      @TheAirbrushGarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Arsen, both. As you move closer to the surface you are also in the process of triggering the air off at the end of the stroke. Make sure the brush keeps moving after the paint is shut off. And! At the end of the stroke only shut off the paint not the air. Hope this helps and thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

      @dancuccurullo8453 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      43rocket, not sure what next to line means but overspay is very minimal because of the small volume of paint being sprayed and the low airpresure. If you are referring to the atomized dots of paint outside a pass with a spray gun then no. Airbrushes are designed to spray in a circular pattern and can produce very fine lines. Hope this answered your question. If noted me know. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

It seems I can’t add more than about 10% reducer to 90% paint. What are your thoughts on this? Also when I add pearlescent mixture to colored paints my gun starts off fine and then begins To sputter when it sprays. “Sputter” is the only way I can explain it. It’s not longer a nice even spray it sputters even when holding it fully down. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thanks for the videos

      TommyGunz327, I typically use around 10 to 20 percent as well. But for people just starting out it I find it is easier to use a thinner mix. As someone get more experience the amount of reducer can decrease with less trouble and everyone will find a different sweet spot.
