Airbrushing metalizers...
Posted by RichardI on Thursday, March 25, 2004 9:13 AM
I intend to use my beautiful, shiny new Omni 6000 to spray MM metalizer lacquer. Is there any problem with doing that that I should be aware of? I also have a couple of Badger single action brushes that I have used in the past to spray metalizers with no issues so I can use one of those if necessary. Was just wondering if there are any bushings or bearings in the Omni that might be affected by the lacquer or the thinners I would have to spray throught to clean it. (What would I do without this forum???)
Thanks,
Rich Cool [8D]

Rich,

All of the Omni's as well as the Badgers can handle lacquers without a problem. Just don't get any lacquer down into the trigger mechanism and you will be fine. Wink [;)]
