Trident Water based Airbrush Paint Review

[ra83clement]

holy shit you've got some serious talent

[ra83clement]

You have a proton pack ?

[weasele1]

any chance of trident becoming available in the states anytime soon

[svee]

@weasele1 hang in there mate. Im sure its on its way soon ;)

[rabss15]

@svee hi I have this paint and have been painting just on paper for practice which is ok, however just wandering what surface your painting on there as its a much better finish. I'm quite new to airbrushing thanks.

[svee]

@rabss15 it was a bit of card i had kicking around mate but it had a weird black coating on it that made it less absorbent and more like a hard surface. I think it came out of a box of chocolates lol :)

[licalau]

Great review Svee!!!! I am in Brazil, so its just another brand of paint i'll never smell in my life. It's a shame.... But again, great review!!!! =)

[liondevaal]

Sorry forgot to say, nice review Svee :-)

[liondevaal]

Hey Zerrak1,

The true fire is very good to do with the Trident paints.

The panel that you saw is myn we are an dealer of Trident and i always doe alots of test

so that we can aswer the customers questions.

[zerrak1]

hey svee, i was looking at the trident site and i fond the gallery and in it is a truefire panel, i was wondering how well truefire can be done with this new paint it is water base and i know it's hard to do with water base ...any thought's??

[svee]

@zerrak1 Thats something ive not tried with it yet im afraid mate. As soon as i give it a go i'll let you know ;)

[andyparle]

Hi Svee, what psi where you using with the paint?

[svee]

@andyparle about 35 mate give or take a psi or two ;)

[KungFuSpringArm]

how does it work on t-shirts :)

[svee]

@KungFuSpringArm I dont know to be honest mate. Im not a t-shirt painter ;)

[crazddrifterr]

great review man! i'm pre sure dan is giving me a free sample of it with my new badger renegade velocity! keen to see how it's going to go!

[zerrak1]

hey svee thank's for the vid this look's like a great new paint to try, at current i am useing createx i still consider myself as a amature airbrusher and dont get much time to paint, so far in the last year i have spent more time watching your vid's then spraying paint ;D, me and my girlfriend love watching you paint (and fool around ) glad you have your dad back best wishes happy new year and be well

[svee]

@zerrak1 Thanks you mate. Having Dad home for xmas was the best present ever :)

All the best for an awesome 2012 ;)

[enemyilaf]

svee, either you did not say, or I did not hear... but are you getting the blue color shift when you sprayed the trident white over trident blackened areas?

I could not see any blue color shift on the painting, so I did not know if it was not happening or the video was not showing it.

Good review of this product.

[svee]

@enemyilaf I didnt get very much at all on this painting but i have just done another one using Trident and there is a slight blue shift over grey areas. Its only slight though ;)

[enemyilaf]

@svee Thanks. Definitely makes me want to try this product.

[777zaccy]

Hi svee, I'm a 13 year old bigginer airbrusherister and my airbrush is spraying paint very smoothly also it spits quite allot. Plz could you tell me what the problem is? Thanks!

[svee]

@777zaccy Could be a whole number of things mate. My first port of call would be to strip the airbrush down and give it a damn good clean. Even the smallest bit of crud trapped in the nozzle will cause you all sorts of problems. What paint are you using and what nozzle size on your airbrush? If its a small nozzle (.2 or less) it might be that your paint needs reducing a little to get it to flow right.

[hefty88]

i want that paint but is not in the u.s.a ;(

[TJMonster51]

@hefty88 I ordered the tru8 50ml set from England........$95 after shipping......Been well over a week and still haven't seen it even though it was received in the US a week ago.

[hefty88]

@TJMonster51 were at man so i can get a set

[svee]

@TJMonster51 Any sign of it yet mate?

[TJMonster51]

@svee They found it after I complained. Its in new york. A few days shipping still. Hopefully by friday.

[TJMonster51]

@svee Got them today!!! Now I need a project. hmmmmm

[svee]

@hefty88 If what im hearing through the grape vine is true, thats a situation that should be sorted soon mate ;)

[afar1]

Svee ... serious question no joke. I am getting ready to aribrush an old spunker that I used to know on me Mexican made Strat. Me question be can I combine Sharpie pemanent marker colors for the facial details along with the airbushing of the wider parts? She was a bit of a slag so I don't want too many details. Thanks in advance mate. Long live Wales!

[svee]

@afar1 lol. NEVER use a sharpie mate. Never ever eveeer! They dont hold up. Over time they fade. There was a Lamborghini done with sharpie a few years back and the sun made it all fade away to nothing. Days and days of work just vanished. Sharpies are good for writing on stuff but they have no place in the world of custom painting.

[afar1]

@afar1 Thank you mate!

[BeyondTheReckoning]

@afar1 Just to add to svee's response, sharpie's are acetone based, so they will not be compatible with the same products as the water-based paints that he shows us. They will also destroy any water-based color they come in contact with.

[mrcolinjohn1980]

Nice to see u back mate

[ohiopreppdude]

sweet looks like it flowed well

[SCUBONZIES]

looks like jeff conway

[SCUBONZIES]

make beer paint svee your the best at that man wears the party at

[ronaldrink]

I really love the Trident paint, couldn't agree more about the black though. it realy is BLACK. I think I will mix up a bottle of reduced black so i won't have to reduce every single time

[bernhardtsen74]

make the Jimi Hendrx 3D

Try it!

[ashleytheflashley]

Brilliant video Svee. Very informative!

[squidgybidge]

Great piece of artwork buddy.

Sound review of the paints. It gave a very clear idea of how they perform.

[savagemodels]

Hey bud so what do you think about vallejo model air paint.

[svee]

@savagemodels first time ive heard of it mate. Never tried it :)

[savagemodels]

@svee They are used for model painting but you probably can use them for any thing . They come in 17ml dropper bottles and there are about 150 colours to choose from and costs about £1.75 per bottle.

As you might know Vallejo is a very famous fantasy artist. Just google Vallejo model air paint and you will find Vallejo web site.

[TheRocketSilo]

@svee it's just like plain createx,, same base and thinner type

[airbrushpower]

@TheRocketSilo That is actually completely incorrect. As in, couldn't be more wrong. It is different from Createx from the ground up and gives different performance and results. Have you actually used it?

[TheRocketSilo]

@airbrushpower my comment was in reference to vallejo paints

[airbrushpower]

@TheRocketSilo In that case I sincerely apologize. That was my mistake; I misunderstood. Sorry. :)

[stymye]

@airbrushpower no problem bro , we got our wires crossed , it's ok,, thanks for being cool

[darvyowolf]

Oh no Leave the Eye Alone!!! it looks like a Glass Eye! kinda like Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York!

[Daiarve]

[afar1]

Svee what do do think of the Badger 3155 Hybrid? I just purchased me one.

[svee]

@afar1 Never tried one of those mate but i own a Badger patriot and krome and they are both great airbrushes. You cant go far wrong with Badger in my opinion ;)
