Wendigo Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Raving Bonkers: Thanks for the very detailed reply! Lots of good info here... About spraying distance: I think I am spraying from farther than 10-15 cm. Will pay attention to that today. About PSI: as I said in a reply, I've been having luck with 30+ PSI. But it may depend on spraying technique and distance. About spraying technique: yes, I agree that the pooling in recesses means spraying too long/too much at a single spot. I should try and use the airbrush more like I would use a spray can. Thanks, Wendigo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendigo Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Retributis: About paint thin-ness: this was the new Vallejo airbrush primer, straight from the bottle, as recommended by manufacturer. I think it might have been slightly too thick, but I don't think paint thickness/viscosity was the main problem. About spraying too long on one spot: Yup, this was the main problem. I need to use my airbrush like a spray can. Thanks for your help! W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendigo Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 Latest experiment -- I love the color, but the paint is still too thick. 1) Vallejo airbrush primer (white) 30 PSI undiluted from bottle 2) Liquitex Alazarin Crimson Soft Body acrylic paint diluted 1:1 with Liquitex acrylic medium, plus a couple of drops of Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid Retardant (applied with large paint brush as crudely and heavily as possible) W.
