well basically im new to teh whole airbrush scene, more so to learn airbrush art for painting computer, bikes, etc
but anyway i picked up some Acrylic Lacquer Thinner and Acr Lac Clear Coat, and tried it through my airbrush i just recently got
ive used waterbased acrylic through it before, its pretty damn easy.
but on trying the acrylic lacquer clear coat straight from tin, it was too thick for my .35mm nozzle, about 20psi, siphin fed from bottle and i tried cup as well. so i thinned it down more and more but it didnt spray through very good, question is, should i invest in a bigger nozzle n needle for this paint? it's an ebay airbrush, called a h-28? not sure the brand or where to get parts for it, it's dual action, pretty easy to break down.
it sure was fun cleaning it, i used mineral turps to try clean but it was kinda hard with that, the paint clogs together and is like tough jelly, but eventually i got it cleaned out . which leads me to teh second question, what dissolves it? and should i need gloves when handling whatever dissolves it? turps will make lightwork of the other paints i have, it dissolves really good but this stuff is like evil alien goo
final question, what are some good surfaces to learn on? at the moment im just spraying old carboard boxes that have a printed covering, and newspaper as well which isnt good to paint on at all. havent tried office paper yet
thanks
