Cleaning Airbrush Between Colors // Quick Tip Airbrushing 

Succinct and clear advice. Good stuff. Thank you.

I've started selling and designing tees and let me say this... THIS HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! Thank you!

Quick and efficient video. Thanks

Thank you for the advice, I will definitely do what recommended to clean it airbrush 👍

I use a water bottle and use an old needle to put a hole in the cap .its what i always used ..great video as always

I dump the excess back into the paint bottle. Then I grab a Que-tip and mechanically stir up the pain to make sure i is dissolved in water. I dump that out and refile with fresh water and spray a bit then back pressure the nozzle then spray back pressure then spray. Dump the water and then clean water and repeat the spray and back pressure routine. Lastly I spray out what ever water is still in the cup and on to the next color. all that takes less than a minuet. I probably should do a video on that too.

Excellent tip. Wasted a lot of time spraying out old paint before we saw this.

Hey Jac very useful method thanks for sharing, cheers Liam

I use a coffee can as a waist can for airbrush blowout, and small water only squeeze bottle. And do to a T what you do. No clogs from this method. Also after final cleaning after painting is all done on my lures. I keep all my airbrush parts apart and soak in a sealed Tupperware-container with a 50/50 mix of water and windex

Yes, I’ve wondered which way is the most convenient and efficient way to clear the brush and to clean the brush.

I have apparently been do this correctly, thanks!

You can use a spray bottle as well with just water. One thing i seen missed, after washing and blow back rinse again and use a papertowl or soft cotton rag and clean out bowl before spraying through. I can change colors in less than 30 seconds usually. Another thing that helps is start with light colors and go to dark colors when possible.

I'll do the same thing. I just use a old gallon jug with the top cut off at a angle to keep the handle on the side. Works well 💪

That looks like it works great for acrylic paint, what would you recommend for a lacquer paint? To use that much lacquer and put up with the odors

Thanks for this video, is great content!! Could you please help me understand one thing? I use to use my airbrush maybe omce or twice a week top, I also only use acrylic paints. I am used to deep clean it at the end of every session, but now I wonder if by doing so I am overdoing with cleaning. So my question is: how often should one deep clean an airbrush (i normally use a ultrasonic machine and cleaner). And when doing so, should I have to remove ALL parts? Thanks in advance for your help!!

I use an old coffee can filled with water and submerge the airbrush. Backflow a couple times then spray. Only issue is having to refill fresh water after every session

Can you use distilled water for a thinner?

Dont back flow the air pressure guys. Its damages the needle gasket o-ring and teflon washer inside the airbrush which will eventually cause paint to leak through behind the gravity cup

I use the same exact method, but I use baby formula containers cause I have so many of them lol

I pour out the color, then a bit of acetone, bubble it and blowout in the airbrush bottle. That´s all.

I just use an old windex bottle to spray water in it

I just use a paper towel to wipe the bowl out first.
