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. Excellent idea, excellent points. Thank you! Quote

Well....guess it's time to invest in some YT videos on this new endeavor. Thanks for your responses!

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. Thanks! i use a 5 gallon bucket called my garbage can, and some homemade cleaner, found the recipe online, its not a big deal to clean at all some folks here buy a few of the cheap airbrushes and use them for specific stuff like dyes or finishes.

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. :-) the cleaner is equal parts water, alcohol, and window cleaner/ windex make sure the window cleaner has no ammonia. after painting wipe out your paint cup best as you can, then add a bit of cleaner and hold you r finger over the spray nozzle and shoot the gun, it will bubble back through the paint cup and clean it then dump that refill and spray it through till clean. it may take a few times but only uses an oz or so.

Members spacedog Posted June 27, 2021 Members Report Posted June 27, 2021 Nice clean work, chuck123wapati. The airbrushed colours are very subtle. I am going to have to look into airbrushing at some point too. Quote
