Can you use a makeup airbrush for painting?

@anthonyd.1428 2 года назад

One major mistake that I wish I knew how to deal with when I first started painting was to always clean your airbrush thoroughly or you'll regret it.

@davidlang4442 Год назад

Just soak it in lacquer thinner. Will lift that dried paint right off.

A very nice tutorial, air pressure can be dictated by your nozzle size and what paint is being used, 20-30 as a general rule for .2mm nozzle and bigger, paints with pearl and metallic’s may need more pressure, heavy metallics need bigger nozzles and more pressure, Learn to thin paints, there is no Airbrush that will do it all, if you need detail, get a detail brush, #1 keeping a clean airbrush is mandatory, #2 is learn trigger control, #3 use the correct paint for you nozzle size, #4 learn to thin paints, #5 absolutely learn how your airbrush works! There are too many myths, and misinformation on airbrushing, a airbrush is a very simple Mechanical device, nothing more, it’s a hand held needle valve with a paint chamber, ALL airbrush’s need the venture effect to work, some need the help of gravity also, understanding how he airbrush works takes the mystery out of it’s function!

@MedicaeSteve 2 года назад

Thank you for the video, excellent info. I use my airbrush for miniature painting mostly. I have always thinned my paint heavily and ran a low Psi in the 15 range (as has always been conventional teaching). However, you and a handful of others have been recommending higher pressures. I 100% see the logic in the higher pressure. I recently purchased a Badger 105 Arrow and it has a 0.5 needle and nozzle configuration. Supposedly it is a unique setup that still allows for fine lines and good detail. I am struggling with it at higher PSI because it will dump a lot of paint with very little pull back on the trigger. On the same note, at lower PSI I get the skipping and grainy issues. I may just need more practice with this airbrush but I was achieving better results with my cheap $30 Chinese knock-off brush. Do you have any experience with this airbrush and possibly any further suggestions about its particular setup. thank you in advance.

@Jamiewalker2097 2 года назад

@corty1980 2 года назад

I do 3D Printing and paint a few of my models. Due to the fact that most airbrush paint comes in very small amounts and I need alot to cover some prints I have used art acrylic paint due to airbrush paint being a little pricey. I just recently painted a model with the art paint and thinned it with thinners, and at the time it was cold, about 15 Celcius and the paint did not dry after about 3-4 days, even bought the model inside and had the heater on. I decided to redo the part and this time I used Isoproply Alchol to thin it and it dried with no issue and it was also cold when I airbrushed it. Have you had any issues with the paint not drying when it's cold and being thined with thinners?

@pauldolden8934 2 года назад

Great video-thanks for the tips. Is the psi you refer to the working psi?

@fateweaver9844 2 года назад

Yeah. When you set psi at compressor depress trigger for air then adjust. So 30psi with trigger depressed will be around 38 with trigger released.

@diamondplate Год назад

Air on all the time, cool tip, but what if you're using a tankless compressor? It's a lot of condensation?

@Wiggins773 8 месяцев назад

@wilfredderksen 2 года назад

Cool! The double action is easy to understand, hard to master. With practice it slowly starts to become automatic behaviour. For the 50% overlap, I find that very difficult. I think my eyes go exactly to the right spot but not my hand. Will that be the same? Just practice?

@AirbrushAsylum 2 года назад

Thank you glad to hear and yes the 50 - 50 overlap can be difficult to master take a look at this vid if you haven’t already which better describes it 👉🏻 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dsr3_HkPCT0.html

@ILikeYous 2 года назад

I am an advanced brush painter with acrylics and intermediate with my airbrush. Recently spending a lot of time to get better with the air brush with daily use for months. The problem I am running into is low pressure application for miniature figures. Do you know of a good place find some tips at the low end pressure airbrushing? I see dedicated miniature painting videos and every one of them is about getting people over the hump and into buying an airbrush it seems. I would be willing to pay for some advice and tips on the more advanced side of it. I have multiple airbrushes after years of painting, but recently acquired a Iwata CM-C Plus and it is excellent. I am able to highlight and shade 32mm figures and going extreme on the dilution like 90% thinner/flow improver (custom mix after years of trial and error) and 10% paint I am finding some success at the 5 to 10 psi for blending on such a small scale but not getting to the same result as the high end painters in this field.

@JT-91 Год назад

whats your go to needle size?

@topouzidd Год назад

Does one airbrush need different PSI from another airbrush that have the same needle/tip diameter when using the same paint mixture? For example, if I use an Iwata Revolution 0.5, an unbranded 0.5 and Harder&Steenbeck 0.5 with the same paint, those 3 should work at the same PSI (30 as you said here), or does the airbrush design of different brands make them require different PSI or different mixture?

@topouzidd Год назад

When I try to do some really thin lines (modeling thin) with my 0.3 from a really close distance, I’m getting dry tip every 2 seconds. I’m setting 15-20 PSI, the paint is thinned enough, to a point that if I thin it anymore, from the close distance I’m trying to do the thin lines, my lines are spidering. What can I do to stop dry tip when doing thin lines? Would a better airbrush have better results specifically on drying less on the tip, or is it only user error?

Do all your tips, tricks and advice carry over to airbrushing miniatures and models like warhammer miniatures or gundam kits?

@fateweaver9844 2 года назад

Yes. Only needle size matters, not psi or reduction. Though tbh due to the size of Warhammer miniatures fine detail is often easier to paint with a normal brush but with a tiny needle and low pressure you can do the eyes on an infantry model though I wouldn't recommend it. Easier to paint eyes normally unless you have EXTREME control. I have a Micron Takumi. I can do cat whisker lines but still easier to do eyes with my 00 brush.

@ZTRAIIN626 2 года назад

Thank you and yes the price of the airbrush doesn’t matter, just apply these tips to any double action airbrush you may have whether that is a gravity or siphon 👍🏻

@fateweaver9844 2 года назад

Just remember not all airbrushes perform the same. Just like power tools you get better quality with higher prices. For a beginner doing general coverage like priming and base layering a cheap airbrush will do a decent job but once you get more experienced if you upgrade your airbrush you will notice a difference. 30 vs 300 is not just price gouging.

@andrewhartley9305 2 года назад

@@fateweaver9844 I understand what you're saying but you have to remember not everyone can afford a expensive airbrush with everything going up in price ect they can probably only buy a cheap one I hope you understand what and where I'm coming from

@PanzerRanger 2 года назад

What would be a decent general air pressure for minatures

@fateweaver9844 2 года назад

Same. Size of project doesn't matter regarding PSI, just needle size. I have 3 AB's. .5mm, .35mm, .18mm and I use 30psi most of time for larger surfaces dropping to 15-18psi for details like Space Marine shoulders, helmets, basing details. A .18mm can do a line as thin as a cat's whisker at around 15psi and needle approximately 1/8th inch from surface. For that I do around 8:1 reducer/paint. It's basically skim milk at that point. But I still prefer to save detail work for vehicle details. Infantry details are honestly easier with a normal brush. I mainly use the .5mm for priming/general basecoat/zenithal/OSL application.

@mikeguffei4285 2 года назад

Is 30 psi resting or spraying pressure?

10 месяцев назад

It’s like Karaté Kid; wax on wax off 😂

@jordanjones2046 2 года назад

I never noticed how you place your index finger on the trigger before. I've always painted with the very end of my finger on the trigger, but have often dealt with hand cramping and fatigue. I'm going to try to position my finger more as you do and see if that helps.

@fateweaver9844 2 года назад

Yeah. Its whatever is most comfortable. The airbrush is basically an air powered paint marker. So however you normally hold a marker is how you should hold an airbrush. Fatigue will happen but if you get cramps and pain then you are definitely holding it unnaturally to what your body finds acceptable.

@richardchampagne7700 2 года назад

One of the people I looked up to when I was learning used his thumb on the trigger. It's just like the different ways people hold a pencil or paintbrush. It's all about how you are able to control the brush and what is a comfortable position and grip for you.

@bofa83 Год назад

What about when a paint says 40-50+ psi with a .5mm needle?

@AirbrushAsylum Год назад

If that’s what they recommend then start with that and you can always adjust accordingly later 👍🏻

@chubbyjaydraws 2 года назад

30psi? Good to know,always thought it was 20. Have to remember that next time I brush .

@AirbrushAsylum 2 года назад

20 is fine and will still work, but I like 30 for general airbrushing it allows for easy coverage and less tip drying issues especially if you are running your paint a little thicker. For 18-20 psi I thin to 30% paint - 70% reducer 👍🏻

@AOSHOOTER 2 года назад

I use bottle fed and usually run at 60psi. Should I lower it?

@fateweaver9844 2 года назад

60 kinda high for siphon fed. It depends on paint of course but for most paints that aren't prethinned doing a 50/50 you can probably knock it to 45-50. Not all brands of paint behave the same at similar reduction and psi. Nor do the different types. Enamels/Lacquer paints, in general, spray a lot better than acrylics and are actually a lot more forgiving in my experience but are a lot more toxic. Long story short I would try dropping to 45psi and see how it handles. 60psi is good for porous materials where thicker paint is required like tshirts but for non porous you might see better results with 45psi.

@Game-Boy. 2 года назад

This is ridiculous. I watched for two minutes and give up. First, 30psi is not a standard and it never was. I have Iwata 0.3 and best is on 18psi, recommended between 15 and 25psi. On the other hand my Badger works best on 25psi. Each airbrush model depends on the manufacturer has individual settings. Follow manufacturer recommendations, not your advise. Second you never ever put paint directly into the paint bucket, you will need an hour to clean the airbrush. If you want to mix the paint in the paint bucket you first put a drop of thinner or water and then paint. For airbrushes below 0.3 you have to thin the paint even if it is Air type of paint. For brushes 0.35 you don’t have to thin Air type but must thin regular paint. I didn’t watch the rest of the show because there was no point. Please don’t give wrong recommendations!
