Airbrushing success (but...)

[Guest]

If it works for you then that's fair enough.

With a gravity feed iwata or similar the cup isn't replaceable however.

I found quickly that the paint wouldn't mix as thoroughly in the cup and I'd still say, certainly for a beginner to airbrushing, mixing in the cup would give inconsistent mixing results and make it nigh on impossible to check the consistency accurately.

I always put thinner in first, then the paint.

Yes I do the same Barry. Always have a squirt just to make sure I have it well mixed on the old plastic drinks bottle.

Also a good tip Steve is before laoding have a squirt. After washing a brush water or brush cleaner from the top of the needle tunnel drains down into the nozzle so get rid of that before putting paint in the cup.
