What the f*** is wrong with this f****** airbrush???

Well i have the revell airbrush and this crap of brush only works when it wants to :banghead: :screwy: Is it possible that revell paints are too thick for the airbrush? Because "bubbles" appeares where the paint goes out. Em, not bubbles just loads of paint. And it didnt spray at all. I also cleaned it very well, and it stopped working after a few seconds.
Is it me or is this a shitty brush? Can anyone help me? I used testors last time and it worked like heaven :iceslolan
Im REALLY pissed :banghead:

Maybe you d**'t have e****h a*r p******e to make the p***t f**w. Try thinning the p***t a l****e and it will probaby work better.
Of course it could just be the f****** operator but you never know.

what you need to do is thin the paint before using the airbrush... sadly, i know nothing about thinning, so i'm of no help there... just know that the airbrush isnt crap...

Well maybe reading the manual or the instruction could help to improve your vocabulary and also answer your question... Double bet!

and yes you need to thin paint, and if it's a cheap airbrush, you can use only acrylic paint. you can get some Model Master paint jar already thinned for cheap

RTFM
read the friendly manual :)

humm in the version I have, it's not friendly manual :evillol:

Well i did read the manual and followed the instructions, but it didnt work. And one would think if you have revell paints they will work with revell airbrush without thinning. Well thanks for "help" anyway. :rolleyes:

BTW: whats wrong with my vocabulary? And that was self-censored.

You do need to thin paints. Having said that, revell also make "airbrush" paints that, I would think, work without thinning. But you used the "normal" enamel paint, right?

And what kind of an airbrush do you have? I also have a revell one (master class professional) and am quite happy with it in most respects.

Yes, i used normal ones, in the small round "boxes". I think i have the starter set airbrush.
So, i need to thin this paint or find other paint?

Thin paint. You have to thin pretty much any paint with some exceptions. Play around with thinner/paint ration to find the one that works best for you. Generally, "milk" consistency is a nice place to start.

So what ratio is that? 2:1 paint:thinner or less? 8:1, just tell me approximately. :banghead:

With enamel paint i'd start with
paint 1 : 1 thinner and go from there. But it depends on the airbrush a lot, so mix a bit 1:1, test it, and add thinner if needed until you get a satisfying result. There isn't much to it other than practice and testing.

Crap. Unfortunately air isnt for free, at least canned one :banghead: Damn, ill have to get compressor when i get money :iceslolan

OK, thanks very much Ales :biggrin:

You surely have an acrylic Airbrush.. if you use Enamel paint and clean it with thiner, you will scrap your airbrush in a couple of use. (I did)

I sugest you to use Model Master Acrylic Paint. They come in a jar that fin into most airbrush, already thinned and cost about 2$ for 14ml. You can also clean the Air brush with whater after so you dont damage it.

here is a link with picture so you know what to get:

If you feel the need to censor yourself than it probably should not be in the title. It is one thing to see it in a post but quite another to have to see it in the title. While this is not a kid safe forum there are smaller people amoung us and I can imagine some kid trying to read this forum and having mom walk up behind him and seeing your post. It just looks bad. You will also find in life that people who use this type of language ona regular basis are viewed as uneducated or stupid. It does not mean they are it is just how many people in a position of authority such as an employer or prospective business client see someone. Not to worry though as the saying goes the world needs ditch diggers and trash men just as much as they need doctors and laywers. I have spent my time as a ditch digger so this should not be intended as something demeaning. It is an honorable way to make a living but also the hard way.

hmmmm, i didnt know they made the tin can paints anymore, what brand are those?

hahahaha.. dude, Humbrol Paint are really nice for brushing, but put this in your airbrush and it wont last 4 models..

this is a Acrylic Air Brush, dont put any other stuff than Water to clean this.. (so dont use enamel paint) even tamiya paint aren't working great with those air brush.. Mine is dead becose of this..

You didn't buy those paint for nothing, they are always usefull for brush painting (I have some)

also you will find that air can cost a lot.. I first had this and was able to make only 1 kit.. get a cheap compressor for about 60$ it will worth it

There is no such thing as acrylic airbrush. The one in question is, sadly, external mix, and I can only say that I'm sorry you spent your money on something that is not really worth it. I do suggest, however, that you search for some information on airbrush types, paint types, and how to use them. Even this forum has loads. Good luck to you.

omg, i didnt know humbrol still made paints... i must get myself some

Humbrol make very good paint, and Revell also produve paint (as you can see in the pictures).

There's a whole rack of Humbrol at my local hobby shop and they're way cheaper than Model Master, Tamiya, or Gunze. I also find that they are the smoothest paints I've ever used. I'd like to buy a whole bunch, but I've got a few of the other brands to use up first...

humbrol is SO old, they were around before testor's i believe... my dad has a shedload of humbrol paints...
