Step 1.) Spray without protection and get a sinus infection which will last 7 months and leave you with problems that you may NEVER get rid off. Then try to start again. Step 2.) Beg a good friend to let you borrow a REAL airbrush and compressor. Step 3.) Buy spray booth off ebay. step 4.) Mess up A LOT of toys and loose a LOT of money painting toys with very ugly paint jobs. Step 5.) Ask better artist than you that actually knows what their doing to give you pointers LOCOMOCO , PAULKAIJU !! 
Step 6.) Learn to use V-Color NOT regular tamiya paint. Step 7.) Buy MORE toys BESIDES what you collect. Step 8.) Practice, practice, practice and watch a LOT of karate kid movies to get you amped up. Step 9.) Pray to god everyone will like your work ! Yeah that should about cover things |

the amount of toys in custom-hell does make me sad. Can't you re-paint (after stripping the paint) the same figure to practice on? |

I practice on all sorts of things... cans, bottles, rocks... better to test on worthless junk than priceless vinyl.

I think I will post a pic of the dummy head I use when I paint. I use it to spray my airbrush on to clean out the past color. |

Oh, BTW - anyone wanna buy an airbrush? Yes I've found just about anything is cleanable. What paint did you use and what airbrush is it ?? How about this send it to me and I will see what I can do. And if its no good I will get rid of it for ya

Pretty cheap, but I was hoping it would do what I needed it to do. It is a dual action. I think I might file the tip of the needle to make sure it's not bent. Ya see, when I first got it I took it apart to see how it all worked. But putting it back together was a I FART A LOT! But it worked fine the first couple times I used it. I think I just didn't clean it out well enough. And talking to someone else it sounds like I may not have thinned my paint enough - so maybe that's what's been causing it to spit. Anyway, I figure I'll bombard it with thinner and see if that helps...and then thin my paints more! |
