devil19751 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 hi all I just bought an airbrush for beginners and was wondering if I still had to mix the paint or can I just use the paint from the testors jars
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Ummm...what do the instructions say?I'd be surprised if it will spray un-reduced paint right from the bottle, but if it WILL, it's a pretty worthwhile tool to have.
devil19751 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 the instructions don't really say they just show how to set it up
Miatatom Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 You'll probably need to thin your paint. Practice on some old bodies or spray a plastic for sale sign.
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) This video looks like it may be the same thing you have... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cehsVEEef7o EDIT. He shows the setup, but no spraying, and claims youtube made him take the demo video down. Huh? EDIT 2: Testors product support pages for this thing appear to be down, so you may be SOL. Experiment to see what works. EDIT 3: This is Testors product #4038, and their typically useless website appears to have ZERO technical information other than the govt- required Material Safety Data sheet. Good luck. Edit 4: I really got curious about this thing and did a quick search around the net, found a couple of "review" videos that show nothing other than opening the box and looking at the parts...and a kid with a cold who sniffles a lot...so once again, good luck.

jwrass Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 If that pushes unreduced paint, I'll stick my tongue on my flag poll and post it
devil19751 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 lol thx guys I guess I will have to try and post my results
lilbuddy Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 I saw this airbrush at michaels but decided to pass...its very inexpensive and thought if I would get an airbrush I saw kits on amazon for about 50-100....this all being said Im very curious how this turned out for you.
devil19751 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) this is the result of the airbrush I found that the paint is to thick for it but it works great for the clear coating as you can see on my police car Edited January 27, 2016 by devil19751
spencer1984 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Never tried "over the counter" paints, but pre-thinned paints (like what you can get from Scale Finishes) seem to work in this brush with no problem. Nice looking Camaro!
devil19751 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 thx for the replies guys will have to save for a better airbrush but I will use this one for my clear coating
