Spraying Acrylics with a NEOECO Airbrush
When I got my new NEOECO airbrush and realized how easy it was to do great work I decided to do a How Too video on using it. Well, a little while ago the kind people at NEOECO contacted me and asked if I planned on making that video. I told them I was, and they said they would like to send me a few things to use in the video. They quickly sent me a NEOECO compressor, cleaning pot, and cleaning supplies and tools. Now I am not one to promote anything that I don’t like, so I tested the compressor and was very happy with it.
Now it was time to get down to business and make a video.
I used Tamiya’s Acrylics because that is just about the only paint I use.
I also used Tamiya’s Acrylic thinner and Tamiya’s Retarder.
I always start out with 2 pipettes of paint and 1 of thinner. Then I always add 13 drops of Retarder. This is when I give everything a good stir and see where my mix is. I am looking for a thin milk almost water consistency to the paint. In the video you can see I had to add just a little more thinner.
Then I set the compressor on high (green) and did a spoon test. I liked the way it was spraying so I went ahead and sprayed the roadster body.
After that it was cleanup time and with the cleaning rags that NEOECO adds to the compressor cleanup was easy.
I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope it helps.
Here is what I used.
