How do you use an airbrush?

[t to the maxx2]

I just got that today and don't know how to set it up, LOL, can someone help?

[FreeRideFrosty]

First thing first... CLEAN IT OUT!!! There shouldn't be paint all over everything. I would need to see it but the resevoir goes on top, the compressor hooks up and then a small button should mix the air and paint thus spraying through whatever nozzle is on there...

[t to the maxx2]

but where does the resevoir attach?

I would need to see it in person to be sure but I believe directly opposite of that hose...

This is a external mix, siphon feed stlye airbrush. The fluid tip goes through the section directly in front of the hose on the bottom.Then the cap screws onto it. (these are the parts in the clear tube w/ the red cap) The paint cup or bottle attaches right to the end of the fluid tip.

See... he can tell from a picture... I need to see it in person. That is why he is a painter and I am not. LoL (Either way clean the thing...)

[Obsessive R/C]

Go to an art supply store an get "airbrush restorer" made by Createx. Soak the parts in that and it will loosen up all the dried paint w/o harming the other parts and seals. The solid metal parts can be soaked in laquer thinner to dissolve any dried paint.

And I should have been able to tell how it hooked up by the piece on the resevoir. Duh... that and the tube going into it. LoL
