how do you do that sparkly, space look?

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

What brushes do you use i bought a peak c-5 double cutaway limited edition only 100 made and a faskolor f1 siphon feed for glitter and larger stuff.

[Evil3]

For the small stars. I add a little paint to a tooth brush (a cheep one, and I like them to be new as there is more snap to the brush), then I run my thum across the brush.

As for the brushes I use, my main brush is a Iwata HP-CR, then I have a Peak C-5 (the normal one with the preset handle) that I use for detail, or back up if I have issues with the CR, then I have a Passhe VL for large coverage and for back up, then I have a few other cheep dubble action brushes for back up, and if I really need to I have a cheep single action brush as well (the cheep ones are the aztek ones, and I don't recomend buying one (I mainly use mine for when I am buliding models as they work ok for that)).

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

How do you like the c-5?

[Evil3]

I like it a lot, it sprays nicely, although it is limited by the paint to use as it has a .3mm tip on it, but when spraying thinned down water based paint it has good control. I don't really use the pre set handle very often with it, as it makes it harder to clean the tip due to tip dry (and I have a good amount of finger control), and it adds weight, which makes it hard on your hand

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

What spray gun do you use for your faskmask? Can i find a cheap one somewhere because i really do not like to brush it on and your's looks so smooth?

[Evil3]

If I go to spray it on I will use a cheep one from Harbor Freight (I think it might be this one http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=91009).

Although 98% of the time I use a foam brush to put the LM on. Spraying on might be faster, but it is in a way going out of the way if you are doing only one body at a time (and you really won't be able to use the spary gun with paint once you out the LM through it as that stuff will stick to every thing).

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

Ok well i will just do it the old way . Thanks for the info

[Maxx man]

can you give me a link to a good starter spray gun? and air compresser?

[Slashman]

Walmart has a hobby airbrush that uses interchangeable air canisters. They are under $50.00 bucks. I don't know how many bodys you plan on painting, but it was my first airbrush until I could afford my Iwata and compressor. How this helps.

[TMAXX JUNKIES]

Wow congrats on the big win from parma and the cfx paintworks comp!!!!

I would stay away from the the stuff at wal-mart if you can. Yes it might be cheep, but at the same time, those brushes really are low end. However they will allow you to have a little more controll over rattle cans, and they are a lot cheeper the some of the better brushes.

For a brush, a good one to start out on would be this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDD38&P=0. There are also other ones that you can get to start out on, but that brush has been good to me (and it isn't as much $$ as some of the other ones).

As for the compressor, if you can find one with a tank, that has a fillter and regulator at a good price I would go that route (that might run you another 100 or so)





Thanks TMaxx :D
