    3 parts distilled water
    2 parts Windex (blue kind no scents or anything - - plain Windex)
    1 part alcohol - 70 or 90 percent
    THINNER:
    Just take out the windex but use the same ratios for the other two.

    Great video!!! I love airbrushing because it helps to achieve effects you can’t get with a brush!

    👍👍Thanks for the tips always good to get different perspectives! I totally forgot about pushing the needle, rather then pulling it out. I'd never owned or used a Air Brush until a year ago had no clue what to do? I found a CZcams channel...Barbatos Rex. I watched many hours of his videos. His tips tricks and techniques helped me immensely! Guess what I'm getting at for all people new to the hobby is "It's better to light one candle,
    Then to curse the darkness." 🚂🚂

    Great video as always.
    One thing I like to tell folks is use quality paints. The pigments tend to be much finer, and spray better. I also spend a lot of time learning how to thin and reduce specific brands of paint I like to use. Always have a test piece to the side of what you are working on. I tend to reference it a lot through out the process.
    Every time I add new paint or switch colors, I am using that test piece before actually painting my model.
    Also I like to tell folks to play around with the pressure you are painting at. I can thin my paint so that I can have my pressure really low, which prevents overspray.
    Like anything the more you use it, and play around with it, the better you get. It starts to become second nature.
    Take which ever air brush you use, and fid that sweet spot. It will be the right paint consistency, and pressure to get the right atomization and put down an even coat.
    Also play around with different color primer coats. It effects the top coat color.
    These are all things you pick up over time, but really make air brushing enjoyable.

    For me... I always have to do a practice piece... then, when I get the rhythm... Look Out!... Great stuff, man... this helps when I get into my rhythm mode.

      Thanks Tood and it's 3 parts water, 2 parts Windex and 1 part alcohol (70 or 90 percent). - that's cleaner and for thinner just subtract the windex. Been working for me for years.
