hi,
i've been always an acrylic type of guy when it comes to airbrushing because it is easy to clean up. However, lacquer paint is oiled based ( correct me if im wrong ):uhoh: so how would you clean up after spraying lacquer. i'm asking this because im wanting to trying getting into spraying lacquer :grinyes:. is it the same way with acrylics, just use thinner to run through it and us a brush to clean the paint cup? btw, if you can tell im a noobie, but im still practicing and improve my skills.:smokin:
:lol: thx

Laquer thinner will clean up laquers.

For cleanup you can use either whatever reducer you're thinning your laquer with, or generic hardware store laquer thinner (cheaper, but sometimes less effective).

Yeah, just use lacquer thinner for everything. I find many acrylic thinners don't do as good a job, so why mess around?

Just be sure to flush it with water and/or the thinner for your medium, just in case the lacquer thinner reacts with the next batch of paint.
