Tractorman810 Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 most car paints will take ok with a prime,and work out cheaper than the humbrol stuff in the long run, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Be carelull when spraying primer on plastruct only do thin layers and let them dry have melted some in the past if it's thin once primed though use any car paint but as before only thin layers at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Stop being lazy and buy an airbrush, Badger is best make i've found. Use Humbrol paint or any paint for that actually, Dealer paint can be good too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 keeps splattering the paint,or not picking it up at all mate,paint has been thinned like the shop said,50 /50 i think it was,just doesn't seem to want to work, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 50/50!!!!!!!!!!! Are u mad!!!! Way too much thinner!!! Most paint 10% MAX check all holes open not blocked, get a pin down then, dynarod no use they don't have anything fine enough!! another thing, if the paint is used up really fast its too thin also.

NCC Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I'd say Sean was right Ricky. When I use humbrol and revell paints in the airbrush it says 1 part paint to one part thinners. So I empty the paint into the jar, fill the tin up with thinners shake it around then empty that in the jar too. Always worked fine with me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 1. Depends on make of paint. 2. Depends on make of thinners. 3. Depends on type of airbrush. 4. Depends on operating pressure of airbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 always spray with it in a warm room,and never mixed more than that,like nath said the humbrol stuff says 50/50,it is brand new so no blockages,just don't want to spray,just lumps the paint on??

MODELFARMER Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Check the pipe goin into paint, might have a hole. Try playing about with nozzle height in airstream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Check the pipe goin into paint, might have a hole.

SMurF Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Have you checked the air presure as if it is too low it will just lob out lumps of paint \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ah DUH Ricky shoulda thought on that, \ \ Also are you using a "tanked" compressor, Compressed air produces water,Before spraying drain tank of any water 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 no i use cans at the mo,i have a compressor from work that blows desicated air ,but not set it up yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 no i use cans at the mo,i have a compressor from work that blows desicated air ,but not set it up yet Cans?? The most expensive possible way and if you knock them over they freeze dam it don't use cans, blow down the tube before using cans!!!

james f Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 If its the type that sucks the paint up from the bottom, my advice is to throw it in the bin and get a gravity feed one with the paint cup on top. Then you only have to worry about the needle setting once youve wopped in a bit of thinners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
