Airbrushing Temp Problem.
Ive been using my air brush for a good few months now and have learnt alot and can now confidently produce some good finishes.
One problem I have is with gloss colours. Tamiya red gloss acrylic.
If I spray with an outsde temperature of 13 degrees celcius or less, the finish comes out like it should - glossy and smooth. If the temp is higher than 13 the finish progressively becomes more grainy and less glossy to pretty much a flat finish the higher in temperature it is outside (not good)
Someone recommended to me in an earlier post that the ideal temperature to spray at is 20 degrees celcius but when I do the finish is dull and flat.
Ive tried changing all the other variables I can think of like more/ less thinning, air pressure, distance from air brush to the work etc and the temperature being too high (above 13) is what causes the unglossy finishes.
At the moment we have winter here so I have no problem spaying at 13 degrees, but what am I to do when summer comes around and the temps dont drop below 25 degrees for months?
Ill just add that I use a Pasche single action brush, thin with Tamiya thinner at about 50% and spray at 22 PSI. I havent tried other paints only Tamiya acrylic. Im not 100% sure this is the case with all colours because I havnt used them much but its definitly like this with red...
Thanks for any responses..
