I pulled out the medium tips for my airbrushes today (the fine tips must still be at my old house), and decided to play with some custom graphics. Unfortunately, I only had 2 colors (black & green), and I'm using single action airbrushes.

So, I started with just cutting off an extra piece of lexan from a new body to practince on it. Any tips and/or criticism is appreciated.

Looks good man. Are you using stencils or liquid mask?

Also one thing that works better than black paint for shadows is fastint by faskolor.

I just taped it all off, drew the design (I see now what I need to change if I do it again), and then cut it out with an exacto knife, piece by piece, painting as I went.

I have 2 working airbrushes (although single action) and a couple that need new seals, so I was able to keep the green in one & black in the other and just switch back & forth between them.

Just curious. What air pressure do you set your regulator for airbrushing???

I run 25 to 30 psi.... I was running a bit higher with the Badger since it wasn't gravity fed.
