  3. Wow!! very very nice Love the colour really suits it.
  4. I will try to call them, aye. Not sure how much it will cost from the U.K mind, LOL Thanks again.
  5. Thanks Randy
  6. Really!?! Thats the one i'm using. the first one they released. I don't have any reciepts or anything though. moved that many times I lost it. I'll email them. worth a shot i guess, Thanks.
  7. Hey there Thomas, My airbrush broke last night and think its terminal, had it apart loads of times and think its finally given up the ghost this time!? Can't afford another so don't know what I'm gonna do? Its one of the very first ones they did and I don't think its as robust as the newer ones. As for the windex, I'm not 100 percent shure I'm just going off what other peaple have said. Though the emulsion paint is very very thick and needs thining quite a lot!! if you did this with just tap water it would just bead up on the body and be a real mess. The windex acts as a flow improver and as a surfactant stopping the thined paint from beading on the body. Hope this helps.
  8. I didn't clear it Thomas as I wanted a flat finish. I use an Aztec Airbrush I used the turquoise large coverage nozel at about 35 to 40 psi Ive never used parma paint so can't do a comparison, sorry.
  9. Thanks John. Yeah, had a few practice runs on scrap bodys first, and once I got the hang of how it sprayed I went for it. It worked out great, no problems at all
