Apart from the airbrush itself and the application of airbrushing, the pressure also heavily depend on the paint and it’s thinning ratio. For plastic modeling, my favorite pressure is 15 - 20 psi for general coating, and 5 - 10 psi for detail work.

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

You are right, pressure required is related to paint preparation.

@user-mt9bi5ri8f 10 месяцев назад

Love section that you talk about the sound when everything is right.

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

It's a real thing :-) I believe that I can tell if an airbrush is working optimally just by the sound - it's a skill worth developing - you can hear when a needle starts to have tip dry, for example.

@eileencollins3126 3 месяца назад

Great information on the fine tuning of the compressor. Thanks! I am going to try listening to the compressor next.

@ippaku 11 дней назад

I think I ran into the issue with my paint was either old or I didn’t thin it enough and also probably had too much pressure. I’m still trying to get used to my new ultra which is amazing and today reviewing your videos again to find more clues to help me get better. Be well be you

By far the best video tutorial No teaching just exploring SUUUPER Ps I am 74 years old and a bit of a figurebuilder and painter I thought for more then 10 years of starting airbrushing And now i think i will start😊 With your new Ultra 2024 I only have to wait for my next pensionpayment And then i will start Thx for a good work and a good product Doc Mike

Thank you!

@alrichardson8759 10 месяцев назад

Super-useful info. I'm a modeller, so have a specific set of requirements, but since moving up to H&S brushes the most interesting thing is that beyond the quality, I've naturally started cranking my pressure up from 15 toward 25 psi as a baseline. Fascinating to hear your direction toward something that's evolved organically for me 🍻

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Glad it was helpful!

@jackbrownii 10 месяцев назад

The idea of listening for a smooth sound is something I will try. It feels like one of those things that is obvious in hindsight.

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

It's a great way of hearing a little bit of tip dry very early on, or understanding that a paint prep is off - sometimes one colour needs a little more thinning than another, and the sound can give you this information before you spray anything to a model...

@8allan463 10 месяцев назад

7:14 sometimes I could get a sound like a very subtle whistle, but it only happened on my infinity and not on other brands

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Sometimes this can indicate that you have a bit of paint dried on the needle tip. Next time you hear that, check it out. It's a great early warning sign of an impending clog!

@dredfxcustompaint 10 месяцев назад

Great bit of advice warrick for fhe beginners

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Thanks buddy!

@mikeszczutkowski3066 10 месяцев назад

Again great video Warwick very informative, I need a new compressor even though it still works its starting to sound ill sometimes when it's running it starts to slow down a lot for several seconds. I could listen to you all day talking about airbrushing.

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Ah thanks man - that's really kind! Funny thing is, I can and do talk about it all day :-)))

@mikeszczutkowski3066 10 месяцев назад

@harderairbrush I have no doubt you can personally I think your videos are to short 😂 have a great day, I'm going to attempt airbrushing a lit matchstick wish me luck.

@DingoPaints 10 месяцев назад

I Love all your video's. Excellent information. I would like to see step by step how to change needle sizes, all the bits that need to be changed with each needle size. Please

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Hey there - thanks for the feedback! We will be covering this topic soon, but in the meantime, please remember always that you need to change the needle, nozzle and the aircap as a set. The needle caps are common. Our current systems are defined by 1 line for 0.15mm on all three items, 2 lines for the 0.2mm and 4 lines for the 0.4mm... You'll see this line system on the needles, nozzles and the air caps. Hope that helps!

@musoseven8218 10 месяцев назад

Another great video✌️💜😊 I've got three cheap(ish) compressors, one's a small one on wheels, with a receiver and regulator, for general garage workshop use, rarely used for AB work, a small semi portable one (240v, again with a receiver, regulator) for AB work, and a cordless Oasser (very quiet for indoor use) for portable jobs like O gauge track weathering or quick jobs (I don't detect any pulse from, this, little, what I presume is a, diagram only compressor, it's regulation is via power buttons and not all that finessed). All three work well, most of my painting is done between 15psi and 25psi, Eg 20psi or just under and yes it gives me time to think and build layers as it's low energy, lower "speeds". Are my compressors worse than expensive branded versions? Not really, not sure if they'll last as long, if I were a pro, I'd go the Eg Sparmax route et al. When I worked in an engineering environment, we had branded products used and abused every day and our livelihoods depended on them, as a hobbyist that's not a consideration, getting paint on well, using water traps where required is what's needed.

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Great comment.

@komma8203 10 месяцев назад

Can you please show off the disc compressor that you guys do, i know its a bit expenciv for most hobbyists but i think most pepole dont know about it

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! Lots of news coming soon about these sorts of things!

@swapyyy 7 месяцев назад

Hello, I received my ultra 2024 with the Sparmax AC-501X and I want to know if it’s normal that the gauge is not stable when using the airbrush? Everything is well connected with the hose. I’m really newbie 😅

@harderairbrush 7 месяцев назад

Hey there! Yes, totally normal. It's called static and dynamic pressure. Static is the reading when you are not pulling the trigger, dynamic is the pressure when you are pulling the trigger. We recommend that you set it to around 25psi static, which will deliver a slightly lower reading when the trigger is pulled. It's because when air moves, its pressure drops... no problem!

@Bunyip_Studios 10 месяцев назад

Any further development on the Cult of Paint Trigger?

It's coming :-)

Awesome vid, clear and easy to understand, could you possibly do a trigger control vid, would help a lot. 👍

@gonzalvezalvez6572 Месяц назад

Had to buy a new compressor, my old one was too loud (97dB) and made me jump everytime it compressed, it scared the hell (and also the heaven) out of me. The new one does 59 dB I think, has 50lts instead of 24 and most important my skeleton doesn't jump out of my body anymore.

@harderairbrush Месяц назад

Should have videoed THAT! :-) W

@gonzalvezalvez6572 Месяц назад

Yes it would be fun...but now I have sold my old noisy compressor to buy a H&S airbrush. You can trust me, it was scary as hell...97dB

@LEGIN27 10 месяцев назад

On topic, If you are serious about airbrushing purchase a serious airbrush compressor with the potential to last a lifetime. Please avoid these very popular oil-less piston compressors and research a silent oiled compressor JUN-AIR or SILENTAIRE are the top most reliable oiled silent air compressor brand types available. Allow your airbrush skills to soar and develop while exploring the vast options and airbrush applications all at your fingertips with the choice of the right air compressor. Which in my opinion should be equipped with a reservoir air tank of no less than 6 gallons for consistent air pressure again allowing you explore in quiet (with a low noise level decibel of 40 to 45DB with either silent oiled compressor brand mentioned) the vast artist world of airbrush. Let's not forget it's "AIR"brushing where air in useful abundance is required and not an option. Don't be mislead, Get one, I've owned my 1st silent oiled JUN-AIR compressor over 30yrs without single issue of any kind beyond regular wear and tear maintenance.

@harderairbrush 10 месяцев назад

Hey buddy - whilst I agree that those oil-filled units are superb for silence and reliability, it's also true that the modern oil-less units have come along a really long way in terms of the quality of air that they deliver, but for a fraction of the cost. As always, there are serious brands and not so serious brands! But the compressor you describe does put the budget out of reach for many, and the goal is really to bring the wonderful world of creativity of the airbrush (as you so eloquently describe it!) within reach to many. But if you already know that you're serious about it, and you'd like a silent studio, JunAir and SilentAir are indeed GREAT brands of compressor.
