Air brushing is FUN! ...my fingers are all covered with adeptus grey. :lol
thanks for all the cool club tips. Thinner and cleaner will probably be on the to buy list next. Where do I get thinner and cleaner? The store I bought the airbrush from didn't have a bottle labeled. I don't know if you know privateer press' mixing medium, but does that count as thinner? (it doesn't say) but people use it to mix different colors together.

hmm sometimes when I try to clean it out, and fill the cup with water to blast out of the nozzle, it will make some short bursts of water but then thin out to just air, while the rest of the water just sits in the cup. Is that a tell tale sign of clogging?

it means you are clogged and you will have to use thinner and even better cleaner to get it un clogged... what ever you do do not up it away dirty... you need to get all the paint out of the pot... and out of the nozzle... I really panicked the first time I had a full clog but... again with the Tamaya paints seem to never clog at least not the colors I have used...

good luck and be sure not to breath in too much paint...
