CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 16, 2021 CFM Report Posted June 16, 2021 Well only one more birthday to go this year lol. A sketch book cover and pencil set for my number three daughter. I airbrushed it black then went over it lightly with some blue, green , and purple iridescent paint. Inside is chocolate pig suede. Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
PastorBob Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 Nice work. Never looked into a airbrush system. I have converted a bedroom in our house into my shop. Would I have to airbrush in another area? What does a system cost to do that?

Thanks! i airbrush in my room, I dont do a great lot of work though so its not a real problem, some folk make an airbrush station with a ventilation system, ive seen them made out of cardboard and a computer fan lol. I have a basic paashe air brush and a harbor freight compressor. The compressor about $150 the air brush about $50 of course you can go higher or lower on both.

A cheap airbrush can be bought from the likes of Harbor-wotsit for as little as about $15. But you need a compressor, thats more expensive I use a carboard box as my spray-box chamber in my spare room. I just change to box when it needs changing. I don't get too much over-spay but in case I do I just cover anything in about 2 ft range with old rags Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

I should have taken it outside but its still a secret lol.

One thing i did learn from this site is to use low pressure i use about 5 /10 lbs now and its amazing.

May have to spring for $30 or so to pick one up. How is the clean up of the gun, etc. Don't really have a "shop" sink. Would have to use the bathroom or kitchen sink. Mama would not be happy with that if it stained the sinks. :-) Quote In God's Grace, Pastor Bob "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 www.PastorBobLeather.com YouTube Channel
Members JayEhl Posted June 17, 2021 Members Report Posted June 17, 2021 Hey @chuck123wapati now that is some really good work and a fun project. I, too, need to start investigating an airbrush system. But I have the same problem with the clean up. Momma definitely won't be happy about me using a bathroom sink for cleanups. Quote

During a session, for a change in colour just a rinse thru with alcohol sprayed through works for me. A full strip down and cleaning after the session is over. I've never taken the airbrush to a sink - too much chance of loosing the small parts down the drain hole. I just dismantle and clean over a small ex-food tray dish.
