Mist coating - how to achieve

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Painting and airbrushing

Hi,

I get the idea of a mist coat, but I’m not sure how to achieve one.

Do I need to drop the air pressure real low and shoot from close-up, or high pressure and distant?

(I’ve a double action airbrush if that makes any difference.)

Cheers,

Kevin

Same way you’d water a plant…low pressure low volume…just like a misting rain. Let the coverage build up gradually.

Watch how I do it on my video.

Thanks HH - that helps cut down the scope for variation when I get some practice time over the weekend.
