goldfinger Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I like to decant paint and use my airbrush. Usually i rig up a straw and tape to spray into a jar, but i did find a neater alternative. I recently bought a few cans of Internal frame treatment for the 1:1 project in my garage from Eastwood. The aerosol cans come fitted with a long plastic tube that terminates in a wide spray nozzle. The idea is you snake this down the framerails of your car and spray 360 degrees . I bought several cans and had some tubes left over. So I cut off the nozzle and tried it out on a few old Testors cans. It worked great! the tube cleans up with Lacquer thinner too. The tube is permanently fixed to the spray can nozzle. I dont know if you can buy these tubes individually but its a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Chernosky Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If you like to decant here is another way. I made these by taking the spray nozzle out of the spray head. The tubing comes from most any spray bottle. A little plumber teflon tape around the tube and jam it in the hole left by the nozzle. Shown are a Testors and Tamiya spray heads. Savogram Brush and roller cleaner works better than laquer thinner. These have been cleaned many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bojaciuk Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Yes, you can buy the Eastwood tips. Here it is... I prefer using acetone to clean! I worked there! Edited November 14, 2020 by George Bojaciuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used w-40 straws cut too 3" lengths and get 3 pieces out of it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
