question...

[proudfordowner]

i have a question, i got this airbrushing kit for christmas and im familiar with spray cans... ive done a couple of cars... but im curious if you could maybe tell me any ideas or tips cause im doing a brand new 1:18 corvette...
what i was thinking for a paint job was to have like a two tone but where the paint changes its almost like a splater... but agian ive never held an airbrush before other than that i will use stencles... thats it


thx

the problem is with the question is its hard to explain lol

have you tried to use it yet ?

the way i hold my gravity feed is jus like a gun then to move it keep your arm still and pivette you hand left to right left to right ....... etc

hold the gun a bit futher away than you would a can i.e instead of 15cm say 25cm

then you should be alright, you will notice how much smoother it is than a can, hope that helps good luck with it dude ..........

EDIT: ya your right it is incredibly smoother than the can!

i love the colour and thx for your help
