Bullitt Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have a nice Wicked Red airbrush paint I would like to put on a '58 vette I am building. Question is, does this paint need to be thinned before use, and if so, with what. Wicked says to use Wicked thinner, but I am no where near anybody that sells it.

my80malibu Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have used wicked color's both thinned and straight from the bottle. I prefer straight from the bottle, sometimes I tend to over think the paint leading to a runny situation. You can compensate some for it, it just takes a little getting used too.Try applying at about 15-18 psi, open the needle up some,and test on some plastic spoons.

Jhedir6 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I've tried it a couple time with my old airbrush which had a .35mm needle and I had trouble spraying it straight from the bottle, even thinned I had issues with clogging, didnt thin it enough. I've got a new airbrush now, but have yet to try it with the new one. I've got a bunch of colours I'd like to use but havent taken the time to try them lately. Let us know how you make out and what you find works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
