Not trouble really. I just suffer from the "Airbrush still in the package syndrome" :confused1:


I bought it over a year and a half ago with a ton of paints and it's still sitting here unused. I haven't even watched the video yet. It's on the list but it's on the wrong list

Armand, I would really appreciate an "airbrush 101". Thanks!

Just bring it by and we'll hook it up to my compressor and I'll show you how to use it.

Eye - the bigger the better - Bass are head-bangers an it's my belief that they key in on the eyes when they hit - just a school of thought that I subscribe to -

To change the paint color, lay a sheet of sandpaper or emery on a flat surface, use wire cutters and snip off the post on the back, lay it on the sandpaper and using light finger pressure, sand off the backing color - I actually use a dowel with a popper mouth cut into the end to hold the eye to sand it clean. Use 5 min epoxy to attach to the plug - this also displaces those pesky air bubbles that like to sneak out from under the eye after top-coating the plug.

Schrock's International sells those eyes for 1.99 per 100 -

The eyes have it!!!

Well, that's great to hear.
I kinda lied earlier.... I did open the box. Just long enough to take the coiled air line out so I could get it to relax a bit. That was 2 weeks ago. It's been hanging in the shop since and it is straight once again.

Baby steps.... I gotta take this slow. I have Airbrushaphobia.... the fear of airbrushes. I'm told exposure to it is the only cure..... One step at a time....
