So I didn't totally rush it this time

Here's my 2nd airbrush attempt a 72 Chevy C10 I just did up today for my Tmaxx 3.3. Being my own worst critic, I would like to have had the lines be a little more crisp. In my defense I was using regular old blue painters tape that most hardware aisles will have. I could have used a little more patience as usual too, but I thought I'd share with you guys.

Feedback is greatly appreciated

Frog tape. I'll check into that. That's the one with the easy release glue right?
Thanks

Very nice! Always wanted to try out the air brush.

Only ever tried the rattle cans from the Hobbyshop.

A better alternative to tape is liquid mask.

Rumor has it that that's the best thing going. I wonder if a siphon airbrush will work ok for it. Probably find out for myself soon enough

The key to shooting liquid mask is to use a big nozzle ..has to be at least a 1mm nozzle or larger. It’s too thick to shoot through a normal airbrush and you never want to thin liquid mask ..shoot it as it comes out of the bottle

I myself use a cheap 15$ eBay hvlp gun with a 1.7mm nozzle to shoot liquid mask
But when I shoot liquid mask I do at least 10 bodies at a time so I don’t waste my time with light coats ..I do 1 heavy coat and that’s it

Good to know. I'll be looking at options for a 1mm or larger nozzle brush soon. I might have a .7 for the siphon brush I have. I'll try that first if I do.

The .7mm might work but it just doesn’t spray very thick so it’s just a matter of patience usually

If that doesn’t work you can get any cheap hvlp gun ..that’s all I use and I’ve done probably 300-400 bodies in liquid mask at this point

I’m a very good customer of bitty designs lol..I think I’ve gone through like 30-40 bottles of liquid mask in the past year or so
