[34kevin34]

neonot :D i noticed your website :)

[marceloucko]

Hi...Great video and great disign!!! Congratulations.. So, do you use Createx paint? \\\\is there any difference between createx and Parma Faskolor? oh, and the last question, what do you use as sealant of yours rc painting jobs? Thanks!

[zerogravity44]

Hey Bro,

Yes, you can use the same paints. ALthough the paint might be a little thick for fine detail stuff, you can always thin it out with fasthinner. I also recommend using a primer coat first(white/silver) unless you are doing dark colors on your Gandam, then it isn't necessary. Good luck and post up when u finish!

[POKEMEX07]

hey man i just got my own brush and i am using it to paint plastic model kits (gundams). i was wondering if i could use the same type of paint you use. If so where can i find those bottles. o also do i really need to apply surfacer paint or can i just use a very fine sand paper to give it a rough surface that way the paint could sit nicely. please respond it would help alot

[monkeyzgonecrazzy]

could you us a spray can

[cfxpaintworks]

@zakito853 Yes, i make my own flames.

[ahinabih]

hey, whats a difference between single action and double action?

which better? thank you

[rbneville]

@ahinabih double action gives you more control over the paint flow. I believe with single flow you just push the lever and the paint flows with double action when you push the lever down the air starts then you pull back to make the paint flow

[ahinabih]

@rbneville i see, thank you so much :}

[rbneville]

@ahinabih no problem

[cfxpaintworks]

@ahinabih Single action is basically like a spray can...u depress the trigger the paint and air comes out. Dual action means u can control how much paint comes out along with the air.

[ahinabih]

@cfxpaintworks i see thanks so much :)

[YamahaBanshee21]

where did you get the airbrush

[1czarc1]

what brand of paintmask use for the flames.

[cfxpaintworks]

@1czarc1 I make my own paintmasks. I have over 600 different designs so i keep them on file.

[zerogravity44]

If you pull on back on the trigger further back, more ink will come out. The less you pull back, the less ink will come out. Also, you might want to lower your air/psi.

[hotstarz89]

if i spray sure many inks came out...how to do less ink ?

[BirdOfParadise777]

Thank you for the awsome help video! :)

BOP

[cfxpaintworks]

faskcolor black reduced with faskolor reducer.

[boomgagem]

What kind of black do you use for the shadows?

[popitn2nd]

how much psi are you using?

[1999151]

you have to use 50psi

[FarmMachinist]

anything above 30 psi is overkill and tends to dry the paint onto the needle much faster causing clogs ... at least that's how my Iwata airbrushes perform.

[cfxpaintworks]

@FarmMachinist Actually, i use over 50 psi because (createx/faskolor)acrylic tend to thicken up once the cap is opened in time. I have almost never gone as low as 30 psi anymore..only if i over reduce the paint is when i can go lower..but very rare.

[DirttRidaz101]

cool u r doing a gas rc car body.

[1999151]

yes

[chowetime]

Nice tutorials - do you have a complete DVD of all your tutorials for sale

[cfxpaintworks]

In time.....Still working on filming it...

[iwriteA2]

any idea where i can get an adapter for my badger 100.(hose for the aircompressor)

[brizzols07]

lowes or homedepot

[AbosRacing]

how do you drop the amount of paint and continue the airflow without the needle flicking a bunch of paint all over the canvas?

[cfxpaintworks]

Hm...i don't think i ever had that problem. But then again, i usually do not pull back on the trigger all the way and try to keep a controlled spray pattern. There is, however a very tiny mist of paint that is atomized and settles on teh body. WHen that happens, i just wipe with a clean paper towel. Comes right off.

[mazan4821]

Can you tell me what kind of paints youre using and the mix ratio? Just getting into painting with airbrush.

[cfxpaintworks]

usually its a 50/50 ratio. I do that with both Createx and HOK paints.

[nabi1976shah]

wt do u mix the paints with?

[cfxpaintworks]

With Createx, i rarely reduce it. But if i did, i ususally squirt once per color cup of fantastik cleaner.

[louiscyphre666]

nice! 5*s!
