Siphon feed airbrush
Valvefloat replied to Valvefloat's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
It was the ratios that took getting sorted but spraying parts or a body is straight forward. Im not doing trim or fine details with them, simpler using markers or my fine brushes. -

I bought a well reviewed and well made Airbrush kit(compressor, 3 airbrushes, hose, tools etc) the siphon feed had a plastic body, loose fittings and the jar was poor fitting into the airbrush. The gravity feeds are all metal, well machined, smooth trigger, sprays A+. It just didnt make sense why pure water would spray but 80% water20%paint would not from the siphon feed. -

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

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. -
