A very important subject again today, following on from yesterday…cleaning…
You could use lacquer thinners as well for cleaning out acrylic paint from your airbrush, but clean water is cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
Before cleaning, empty any unused paint back into its own container. Spray the remaining paint in the airbrush out onto waste newspaper.
Similar to yesterday’s topic, use a large enough container that you have water in, place the airbrush tip and cup down into the liquid, and gently wash airbrush thoroughly. When clean, partially fill cup with clean water and spray into the container to clean the internals. Holding your finger and pulling the trigger will backflush the airbrush as well, to get the instrument thoroughly clean.
Dry airbrush out completely, before loading up with new paint.
Hope these tips in How To Airbrush Better are of help to you!
My good friend, Stuart Vimpani, who is an expert in flames/murals on cars is well worth a visit...head on over...
Cheers!
Jay
