Yes the guy it my LHS took it back with NP at all.

And now I am thinking, maybe I put it on worng or something. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So maybe I will get that Badger Air Hose again hehehe. Do you think that in the pic I posted above, I will need that middle piece ?

I don’t remember if I tryed using that or not.

OK, I am OMW to my LHS " Lucky it’s only 3mins from me " and I will bring my Air Brush with me.

Now we’re waiting for your first paint job! [;)]

OK one last thing here. I got some black paint " ACRYL " and I used 1 of my son’s old models and I could write my NAME !!! LOL

OK now for the cleaning. I sprayed Windex though it and then Simple Green. I took it apart " ALL BUT the triger " and washed it all out in warn water.

Is that how it is done ?

Thanks

Bud

Pretty much, though you probably won’t need to use both Windex and Simple Green. Unless the water in your area is soft water, I would recommend getting some distilled water from your grocer (gallon jug should be about a buck!) to rinse with as most water will eventually leave calcium deposits. NOT something you want inside your shiny new toy!

Thanks all

Bud - congrats!! You finally got it all figured out… yeah I second the distilled water, and I wouldn’t take it all apart to put it in… after spraying the windex or simple green through… (I recommend the Windex over the simple green simply because it is not as noxious!), wipe out the cup till dry then fill 1/3 with distilled water and shoot that through, wipe out the cup again and that’s it!

I only dissasemble my brush like that when doing a thorough cleaning, either by soaking the tip/head in lacquer thinner or most of the time, putting then in the ultrasonic… same with the needle, I don’t remove it until the end of the night to wipe it… The less you unassemble and assemble it the less chance of a broken or lost part…

That jug of distilled water makes a nice paint target when learning your airbrush when shot over with Krylon primer… once filled up you can go back and primer it again. Everytime I come on a technique I haven’t tried before, out comes the jug!!!

You’re very welcome.

Darn tootin’ it all helps!

I’m just paying what I’ve learned forward. Everything I’ve learned about airbrushing I’ve discovered here on these forums. People like Scott (MusicCity), Tom (tho9900), and MikeV, as well as many, many others, have somehow managed to teach this old dog some new tricks. And I enjoy passing on what little I’ve learned!
