From Russia with love :))))

So i'm working on Impreza WRC 2001. As you all understand i need to paint it in Mica Blue, but here there is a problem we can have it only as spray, but i use airbrush and i just hate sprays. So what to do, i thought of several ways:

1) To get the paint out of can and fill in the airbrush.(haven't tried yet)

2) Try to make Mica Blue myself, i tried this way i mixed X4 and X11 the color was right but "unstable" the paints didn't want to mix X11 always tried to appear over X4, i worked as a blender :) but it was the same shit right on the model.

So, what to do? If you say: "Idiot just spray it!" I'll kill myself :)

But anyway, is it absolutely necessary to spray a primer first(i talk about the body)?

Oh i fogot to introduce myself - it's my first post. My name is Rostislav or just Slava, i'm from Russia, Moscow and i'm 24 years old.

i can answer the first and last one

1)get a straw or pipe of some kind tape it to the cars nozzle ands spry into airbrush jar.

yes,you have to use the primer

Thank you guys! Any more advice?

A very good tutorial on extracting paint from spray cans, written by member freakray:

Welcome Slava.

Everything has been said.

1. spray paint in jar, then airbrush - that's what I do
2. Use primer - that's what I do nowadays, after the people overhere convinced me to do it ;)

Good luck.

Yes, the best thing would be to just extract the paint from the can.

Another would be to have some mixed for you in an automotive paint shop.
