Wheels are poor, I brushed Tamiya smoke on, flat black in pockets. May try dechroming and go body color.

Siphon feed airbrush
Valvefloat replied to Valvefloat's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I clean /sand the body, gloves on, wash with Dawn , rinse, dry , inspect, no primer, mix acrylic color, spray 22 psi, 4 coats, leave overnight. I live in a multi person place so I have to use acrylics (no smell). When it comes to airbrushes, gravity feed only, remember 1:1 cars dont get painted with siphon feeds. -

Thats what I use, but I think its spatter from airbrush. I just went over it with less psi seemed to cover. -

Why does pure water work but 2 drops of paint in the same water....nothing, 22psi or 50 psi! Gravity feeds only. -

Vevor brand 8mm 1.5 bar/22psi Vent hole clear Cleaned and checked every piece, only waterlike mix works, tried more psi, same -
Here's one for the airbrush pros. I have a new siphon feed airbrush for larger areas but it won't spray. So I tried straight water, sprays fine. Then thinned out acrylic paint , 60% water, won't spray. It will only spray at 90% water 10% paint????
