EVERYTHING goes wrong in less than 10 minutes!

Well today i wake up and i realize that today is when i am supposed to receive my report card in the mail. So i go to work on my Ferio and my Skyline. I fix the few errors on my R32 and go to check the mail. Turns out i failed the Mid Terms on my English II Honor's class. Immediately I become reallly madd! So i go to clean everything up since I was soo madd that i was going really didn't want to mess around with models. So then i see the R32 and grab it, then squeeze it. Then i realize what i was doing so i let go of it. I then realize that i need to put away my Airbrush, so i start to clean it with lacquer thinner since i was using lacquer. So i am done cleaning the airbrush, i go to disconnect the hose from it and..........Slip, pah, ouch! The airbrush falls in the back and the needle is pushed forward breaking the nozzle and damaging the tip of the needle. :( :banghead: Thank god the Ferio wasn't near me or else...ouch! Luckily the R32 is still alive. Now i don't even know if I am going to be able to go NNL east on the 18th:(

Here is a picture of the damage on the Nozzle and Needle of my Paasche VL Airbrush Size 3:(

Ugh, sorry about your bad day. Especially after you caught yourself before you hurt the R32... it really has to a bad day for something to go wrong after that.

You can jury rig it with pliers maybe, for wide-spray applications. Might hold you over while you get a new tip.

Good luck with that, and with that class.

Thanks man, I might call up the art store to see the prices on those parts. Right now I am thinking of using my Iwata to clear coat the Ferio since now I am a bit more calm. But i promised myself not to use anything but Water colors on my Iwata:(. And my badger is for nails and holds little to none paint! I knew i should've bought that Iwata Revolution CR for backup:(

damn man i had that sorta day also but i didnt break i air brush just messed up 1 of my best lookin models in a long time with a crappy decal job i dunno what im doin wrong no matter what i do they come out crappy o well man hope ya get new stuff soon! :)

Bad day, we always have some.

Luckily, you will find the only real adventage of the Paasche VL, you got 3 needle/nozzle so you can still use it :D

Meh, my dumbass bought the brush only. The one that comes in the little red box. I got it in a deal on eBay, 6 VL airbrush's for 200 bucks. I sold 5 of them and kept one (this one). So i literally bought this airbrush for 33 bucks.

Some days dont ya wish ya never got out of bed eh?

Doubt it, she's too much of a B****...:(

damn man sorry about that shitty day i found a way to fix my decal problem but grades arent as easy as coloring it flaked parts :(

Would it be great if we could have an "unDo" button in life like in computers :D

yep it sure would i would undo selling my supra :lol2:

Oh man I´m feeling your pain! I did a similiar thing to my previous (quite obviously) airbrush. I was spraying a bike or something when I started to get annoyed over the nozzle cap (you know the piece that´s suppose to PROTECT the needle and nozzle) getting clogged. Then I remove the cap and everything works great, until the second when I slip with my hand (don´t bother asking me how) and: NO! SHIT! F-CK! HOLY CRAP WTF! YOU IDIOT!!! YOU DUMB F-CK!!! The airbrush fell over and the needle got stuck hard in the table and bent, and screwed. And here is the funny part, as my father managed to fix it up a little bit I clean it and as I screw on the nozzle with the little wrench provided in the kit the nozzle just break into two pieces... So you are not alone, you are not unique in this area is that can cheer you up a bit.

Oh and BTW I would just love to have that "undo"-button, almost as much as I would like to have a "copy" and "paste"-button...

Bad luck man. At least having a good "name" brand airbrush it's easy to find replacement parts, although not necessarily cheap. :(

True, I called up the local art store and they were out of stock on the parts i needed. Guess ima have to use my Iwata and break the promise i have with it:(

Yes!, i found an auction on eBay for 10 VLT-3 tips (the one i need) for 2 dollars. Though i really don't need 10 of them :lol: Now all i need is the needle:)

I use lacquers through my Iwata revolution all the time, with no problems. I think the Revolution has urethane o-rings for that reason, older 'brushes may not work with lacquer so well.

Man i wan't a Revolution CR soo badly. I use my Eclipse HP-BCS for art. I'm on my second Eclipse HP-BCS, the first one got super clogged with some Testors acrylic and I tried cleaning it by dipping the whole thing in lacquer thinner :disappoin A day after the whole brush was stiff as rock and there was little paint flow:( Thats the reason why i promised myself to get a cheaper brush for models, the Paasche. But that was like 3 or 4 months ago. Now i am more confident, I shall give the Iwαtα another try with lacquer:) Cheers! Hopefully i don't screw up αgain:)
