Homemade Airbrush

I made a airbrush out of a baby food jar, air nozzle, straw, small straw, rubber tube, and popsicle sticks.

so whats pushing out the paint then

[rctestflight]

the air going over the tip is creating a suction and sucking the paint out

[BMFoamy]

when airbrushing foam we dyloot the acrylic paint from walmart with windex. When air brushing you have to thin out the paint to use a airbrush to shoot it on..

Good luck. Like the home made job..

GET OUT and FLY!!

@MrHoodojnik i own a paache..its good...but i also own a testors aztec 1000...been using it for years and years its rock solid..also a central pneumatic i picked up on sale with compressor for 15 bucks... cheap airbrushes can work from ok,to well to fantastic if you put a small amount of time into them and fix some of its flaws most are really easy to fix..a softer/harder spring here,some polishing/sanding there and they are golden!

@rctestflight ..so its siphon or venturi action based....pretty slick.

@BMFoamy doesnt the blue stuff in the windex change the color of the paint? darken it alittle more than wanted?

[KeithWasHere1]

nail polish bottles make great aibrush bottles as well...so do insulin bottles.

@KeithWasHere1 yeah forgot..you gotta put the dubya dubya dubya and at the start and Ach Tee Em El at the end of that link to get to take you to it...frikkin youtube always bunks it when you punt in web code.

[KeithWasHere1]

those cheap ones like that..you have to do some modifications to to get them to work right..check airbrushtips.110mb.com/index..­..dude shows some cool tricks on how to get cheap ones like that (which is a badger 350 clone)..going pretty good. aslo some good mods for other low end airbrushes.

@FlyHighRC386 YES!!! He missed THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.... telling us how he configured the venturi alignment with the air flow - nowhere in his whole damned vid... BTW I just made one from a metal ink pen barrel, a small perfume bottle, and brass plumbing T fitting for the end of auto air gun - screws on. :-)
