Thanks for taking the time to put these tips together. I was using Createx paints and have varied success mixing. Consistency of skim milk is easy to figure out. Yeah, I had issues using reducers other than Createx and had clotty splatter issues. Learned that lesson the hard way but nice to know the answer I figured out was correct. Thanks again.

Tony, your great - all of your vids are bookmarked. I fix cars for a living, wanted to learn airbrushing - you ever need car tech info let me know

Thanks.

first thanks for the videos! they have really helped me out... i really appreciate it... i have a question about the flow... i tried the lighting technique but the airbrush keeps spraying globs of paint out, but if i thin the paint more it runs on the surface since im painting a helmet and screws the whole project up... advice?

Hi guys. can anyone help getting a airbrush designed for metal and, what kinda paint shall i use to pain on metal parts :) ? please help me

[numberx3x]

@jesustheman6 if you are airbrushing an xbox 360 controller ant the paint just balls up or flies off you need to first wash the plastic in soap and water. If you want to you can even put rubbing alcohol on after. Once this is done spray it with primer and let it dry. After these few steps are done your paint should stick on much easier.

[numberx3x]

@angelinheaven0000 to get your airbrush to stop squirting water just dissemble the airbrush completely and ensure that there is no water in the air chambers. Do this before working with paints (especially enamel).

[angelinheaven0000]

how do i get my airbrush to stop squirting water??????plz answer....thx

[Razwithz]

lol! i was busy reading the comments when finished watching the vid and the dude scared me when he knocked the camera :O

[jesustheman6]

what if you want to use airbrush with an xbox 360 controller cuz i tried but the paint always flew off if you know what i mean

[ansiaaa666]

it's people like tony that makes the internet a great place where to find useful informations.

thanks for all the time you take to make this videos!

Great video! Question; my paint is not coming out at all! The air comes out, but not the paint. I cleaned the airbrush 3 times, thinned the paint (water based) and still nothing. When I separated the airbrush, I realized that the needle is dirty (paint) all over, from top to bottom, so I guess paint is somehow going to the back of the airbrush, too? What to do? Thank you for your help...

try windscreen washer fluid used for cars,, works for me..

[MrFranculo]

Hey man thanks for the info in your video! I just bought an airbrush which is supposed to be double action. I know how it supposed to work. problem is, I did the water check and as soon as I press the trigger, water already starts coming out without pulling it. I ordered it in an internet site. I just want to know that there´s really a problem with the unit before I send it back. what do you think could be the problem? thanks!!

[ACLTony]

Good info. Just a friendly suggestion. When thinning water based paints (including acrylics) it's good to use Distilled Water instead of tap water. Many cities and towns around America have "hard water" coming out of the faucets which can affect the results. - Peace out :-)

[MultiAirbrusher]

nice tony..thin u paint but also now to much block/or stop flowing of paint..get your time and following what going on here at tony and youtube.

Have a fun;-)

[JetDriver1111]

great video Tony...but the audio is all messed up......bummer...

[Ivnuk]

Clearly a great deal of effort is put into making these videos, and I, for one, appreciate that. Thanks for taking the time!

Becoming aware of these basics is important for anyone who is considering getting into this hobby.

[AjFreezeDotCom]

what gun would you recommend for a "Lefty"?

[jublywubly]

I've only just bought a decent airbrush, but out of all I've seen, they all seem to be for either hand. Even the airbrushes I've seen that have side-mounted paint containers can be mounted on either side.

It's probably still worth while checking if a side-mounted version is what you're after. :-)

[panzerducky]

can you thin water base paint with just water?

[CajunKlingon]

Yes you can but add something to the water will make it easyer to thin the paint but you can thin it with water!

[kerpan]

I agree with irocdis. I love watching your vids, crazy style!

[koronaemu]

irodics .

your comment is perfect.

[nadiaafiqah95]

i love the last part 8:40 to 8:59

[irocdis]

NICE video, BUT there are many more to know about airbrushing; many grate secrets. I keep my secrets to myself. There are many people who Airbrushes but very few Airbrush ARTIST. NO one can teach you how to Airbrush, you must feel to learn how to airbrush. If you look into it, SO many airbrush videos on Youtube show the same shit like skulls, portraits, letters, ect. But rarely you'll find something unique. BEWARE of those who's out to take your money. The best way to learn is PRACTICE!

[ATONAL6173]

Ha!!! :) ....then the "Are you paying attention, or did I turn half my house into a studio for no good reason?" You have totally redeemed yourself for the sheet of music comments.

[ATONAL6173]

Oh,....but I loved the "You'll put your eye out kid!"

[ATONAL6173]

Thanks, Thanks, Thanks for your voluminous knowledge and generosity, BUT --- please stop saying "...on the same sheet of music." Who says that? Do you read music?

[g4ismaster]

[007Kifazoid]

thank you man very intresting i undertsand abit better now :) keap the good videos up

[SoRealSoReal23]

which is better gravity feed or suction airbrush guns?

[imoneslime]

it depends... if you are using diff kind of paint at the same time i recommend the suction type...

if you needed a finer detail i recommend you use the gravity feed...

[fork1964]

[MountainpeakProduced]

Tony, Tony, Master airbrush controlly. Thank you so much for you insite. I am just starting out with my first Badger, air brush kit. Have you ever heard about the Badger brand. Old school stuff. I will need some parts fo this. So, I wonder if you have them parts. I will check your website later. keep up the good work, Nice Video. Reminds me of Me. Mountainpeakproduced, videos and airbrush paintings on youtube. check out my youtube channel. Let me know what you think.

[camaro572rr]

I think its a nice job, well done tony!

[Thehiphopsolidier]

nice but your old vids is my choice... green screen and all that...

[washaway]

very well done.

[NeoQuello]

IMHO... the audio sound weird and imbalanced when listening through my earphones.. please try and fix it.. plus all this animation was not needed... all you needed for this tutorial was a camera an airbrush and a jewelers magnifying glass.. .. that would have worked better.. please try and keep it simple next time.. .. other than that.. thank you soo much for taking the time to spread and share your passion... good job.

[alfonzo007]

[adi2200us]

[rhodeislandrasta]

[rhodeislandrasta]

Can you make a cleaning video. I do not know what I'm doing wrong. I have spent at least 2 hours cleaning the damn thing after use and its still dirty inside. I pulled out the needle cleaned it off sprayed thinner till its clear (asap after each color and when done). It seems like the body is still holding paint. I have tried everything but soaking it . what do you recommend?

[Grecko5181]

Awesome videos, you have inspired me to want to give this hobby a try.

[nikolagsi]

FINALLY !!! NEW VIDEO. KEEP IT COMING.

[mcnag]

say that again, the other was long ago.

Maybe he'll update all vids, because he had a video like this about 1,5 year ago.

[MCTemPErENce]

[manisuzie]

grate job men. thank you

[neolithic3]

I am SO happy to see you are posting some more videos. I really enjoy them and they are very informative. You also do some really nice work. Would love to see even more videos from you! :)

[psychodelicdragon]

thanks for your explanation man

10 stars!!

[xma1231994]

Yo man your awesome but i got a mighty mini airbrush from online and it flowed good and all with the paint they sent me but now i got airbrush color paint from crafs and stuff and shit isnt going threw right it doesnt spray right and i cleaned nozzle but yeah its fucked lol i needadvice

[AirbrushTricks]

Thin your paint way out. Then make sure there is no goop left in your nozzle from previously using it.

[tomsmith100]

@AirbrushTricks Awesome videos. I have been looking into buying an airbrush. Would you recommend the Iwata HP-CH Airbrush and the Iwata High Performance C-Plus? There is only a £40 difference between the two but the HP-CH has the Mac Valve. I'm a miniature/figurine/model painting. Do you think these airbrushes would be good for small models?

[TheMormonclark]

@AirbrushTricks hey, what if we already got goop in the nozzle?.. how can we clean it out?

[JesusF154]

excellent tutorial

[no1uno5]

Thank You!
