Air Brush!

[Enygm]

Do you ever tryed air brush?

I bought one last year thinking it was about the same thing as painting with cans but smaller...It is not....there is too much things to think about : getting the good pressure level, the good consistance of paint, the good nibs adjustment, the good distance....and there is always some shit happening when you don't want to

I really think it's too sophisticated...plus I hate washing all of these small parts...

I think i'm too lazy to learn this medium even if it can make really fresh work.

Anyway ... <_< I should have put all this money on cans&#33;

[Ravek]

learning from ur mistakes

[genome]

[cbc]

Sell the air brush, on ebay, or too an art student of sum kind or a school which needs another air brush for art...

yeah those are expensive ... espececially buying one new and from a retailer ... thats just crazy ... but my friend had bought one from a lady in the paper for real cheap and it came with everything for about a hundred bucks ... and he had bought the extensions for it so he gave them to me all i need is a pump or compressor ... and he&#39;s planning on buying a new one and he said he&#39;d give me his ...

[tha boy in da corner]

i&#39;m pretty sure an airbrush would make my life way
better&#33; :rolleyes:

[pSYKAOz]

i so wish i had an airbrush TT__TT wasted some money on a 25&#036; zellers one. crap. total crap... but wherenever i have some &#036;&#036; im getting one.

[ptsone]

i have an airbrush.The whole set up cost me &#036;500 AU but found it difficult to lean.Try using sencils and butter paper with spray adhesive to make what the patternswant then you&#39;ll see the real stuf an airbush can achieve.

You can get the best fades imaginable and intricate detail.

:ph34r:

ptsone is right, this badass tatoo place did what almost all of them do which is put their work on the wall, they did the work with montana, but they finished it with this airbrush with some foriegn name and that was the most detailed work i have ever seen. it took them hours so i aint plannin on usin one for my work.

[war child]

airbrush are a different story when it comes to cans, its harder and its hard to keep it clean. I bought one and i got to lazy to use it, its just to hard to keep it clean.U need a lot of practice in order to do some tight shit, i thought it would be easy like drawing w/ a pencil but it was not like that.Fuck airbrushes. :D

i was talkign to the guy who started the thread.

[ptsone]

If u have a steady hand you will be alright. You need to be confident and practice makes perfect. I usually get sidetracked and start bombing up tags instead...lol.I need to get a house so i can bomb up the back wall/garage.

:ph34r:

Ever since I started painting my dad was bugging me about airbrush..."you don&#39;t need to buy caps for airbrushes" "you can mix your own paint for airbrushes" stuff like that, so then he got me one for chrismas and I just don&#39;t like it. It just feels weird, theres too much to take care of, I keep it around for stencils but I just don&#39;t dig it.

[darkling_stalkr]

my friend uses an airbrush on a wall in his house , it&#39;s friggin crazy, i&#39;ll get some pictures and post them

[HeTaK-cac]

air brush is fucktop but a good one cost 200&#036;

[MANiAkONe]

i know a guy that has one to...it was like 150&#036; plus tax but yo hes fucked up with it...he did some crazy shit all over the scooter he baught lol :lol:

[dcite]

airbrushes are amazing..i do shirts with one. you can get lines down so thin.. im surprised there arent many guys who do productions who use them..

[Enygm]

the thing is that I hate my compressor...it work with a pedal and the pressure level Is never the same...actually I think I should sell my compressor and try an other model.

Also my desk is really not the appropriate place where to paint and i ain&#39;t got no other. Just setting the hole shit get me bored of painting.

But I would like to find the motivation to improve my skills

I think I smoke too much&#33;

[dcite]

man, you definetly should get a new compressor. i have a devilbliss thats awesome. you can plug it in and get air, and the air stays in for like months, and its got nice little dials and stuff to adjust the pressure. its sick, and its not that big so it wasnt expensive.

if your in nyc, checkout pearl paints, they have a whole level of the building devoted to airbrushing. its ill...

[cyens]

gimme gimme

[AXIS]

Man, i wish i saw this a couple of days ago, just bought a new one. o well

[mindo]

how much are you planning on selling it for?

[hansolohasnothingonthisbadbadboy]

Noob question but can an airbrush go on paper? What do you use it on other then model cars

[dcite]

man, you can airbrush absolutely anything, as long as you have tha right paint. its not just for model cars...

[Havoc411]

[otrfatcap]

i been airbrushin for a while....i guess once you get the control down like a can, you can airbrush almost anything really, i got into it way before i started writing...got a snap-on since i could make payments on it n shit, but its super nice...i've had soooooooo many offers to do custom airbrush work its rediculous, but i guess thats cuz im in the collision industry....
i remember one time this guy got so fuckin confused i ended up tellin him fuck off....he wanted me to do shit all over his bike, and re-clear it for like 50$ i was like...hells no.

[NEKEL1]

i aint actually tried em but there are these airbrushes that are quite similar to cans coz u can adjust the nib to how thick u want it so it minimises the finger controle. il post the link where to get them when i find it.

[ForOhWun]
