Top Coating
Posted by WutDaFunk on Saturday, October 6, 2012 9:34 AM

After airbrushing, I'll be outside spraying the clear coat with spray cans.

I live in Michigan, there are mosquitoes and tiny bugs flying around. How can I stop bugs from getting on my wet paint and messing up my paint job?

Also, do you know of any good acrylic and enamel top coats that can shoot through a .3 -.35 needle/nozzle airbrush?

I use Future floor polish  (it's an acrylic) and spray it straight from the bottle through my Evolution 0.2mm nozzle and, I spray right in my workshop. Overspray is so minimal any odor is really not detectable 4 feet away.

Do the insects get on the surface WHILE you are spraying, or just afterwards when it is drying. If the later, many of use use a box lid or something to put over the model while it dries. I now use one of those plastic storage tops, upside down with holes in bottom for allowing fumes out.

I'm not sure, haven't tried it yet, was just wondering.

Sorry for the late response, I've been having connection problems.
