hello all,
Is there an easier way to saving your extra paint after airbrushing, rather than let it drip back into the original container. I thought i heard there is someway you can syphon the paint back into the original container. Does anyone know anything about this?
thanks

What kind of airbrush do you have? If you have a bottle-fed airbrush, you can just keep it in the airbrush bottle, provided you have extra bottles lying around to continue painting. If you got a gravity-fed, I guess you could pour leftover paint into a spare bottle.
Personally, I can estimate fairly close how much paint I will need for painting certain parts, so there is very little leftover paint. If there is I don't bother saving it.
