Hi, great video. Just one question, about how long does a large propellent can last?

[thebige61]

I didn't really keep close track. Not terribly long. Maybe an hours worth of airbrushing.

paint a side, u need to buy a compress. at wal mart for under 70 dollars.. make sue it has a regulator for fine tuning ur psi levels. It needs to have a tank. I use mine a posh air brush, on trains armor and place and other arts. I really enjoyed the vid, keep up the good work. Save your money on car air, and get a tank with a conpres., enjoy!

That's something I plan on doing in the future. 70 bucks for a compressor is a good deal. I'll have to check it out. The ones specifically designed for airbrushing go for about 150 or so.

There is a threaded connection on the air can for the regulator, and there isn't one on a paint can. Additionally, even if there were a threaded connection on a spray can, using one of those would be a disaster. You would have little control over the paint, and your finished job would reflect that. And you'd have to wash the paint out of the hose as well as the the air brush (including the air inlet and metering section). Things would end up a mess. Suggestion: use the air brush as directed.

@pacheco131313 connecting a spray can of PAINT to a airbrush...You gotta be INSANE! -You should ever ONLY connect a compressed air can (visit ie. Badger Airbrush Co.) or a certified compressor (using a PROPER connecting hose, not the vinyl hose that comes with the airbrush - dangerous). Also look at your airbrush as a surgical instrument and keep it thoroughly CLEAN at all times. The rest is playing around and learning! - - - ENJOY! :-)

[pacheco131313]

hey do you need a compressor or can you conect a can of spray paint to your airbrush??

[BigAndTall666]

Go for a compressor instead, it´s way cheaper in the end! :-)
