Thank you for such kind at, at 40 years old I certainly ain't been called young for a very long time hahah.I've made the images larger so its easier for those of us with old eyes.
just a couple of FYI's for you
-be careful with the 100% IPA, it can affect some 'plastic' type material and its not a great thing to get onto your skin, it absorbs into your bloodstream and over time can cause issues. Don't ever be tempted to spray it through the airbrush without a respirator (not a dust mask)
- If you have prepped your RC body properly and heat set the paint then you shouldn't have any issues. if you get paint peeling off then you haven't prepped properly
- for t-shirts you should have the psi at around 50-60. the paint needs to be pushed into the fibres rather than just sit on top otherwise with the first wash it will come out looking faded. T-shirts also need to be heat set - with an iron will do. not sure if you do it from the back or use a protective layer of fabric or not @huskystafford will be able to answer that one.
LIke Jordo said, you are the one who has pulled the trigger so job well done to you
As you may have noticed, we can all talk until the proverbial cows come home, but if you aren't listening and taking info onboard then the outcome wouldn't have been so good.
we try hard to explained ourselves well by using the 'proper' language and also explaining what we mean so you build up you airbrush language knowledge so other threads then start to make more sense and hope we haven't forgotten to point out something basic that we all take for granted but a newbie may not have been aware of.
Airbrush IS fun but it can also be one of the most frustrating things you've ever tried if the moon and stars don't line up. We all have those days so don't get disheartened when you have one
I look forward to seeing your progress young grasshopper, I feel that you are in this for the long haul whether you know it yet or not
And I agree, I've already got the bug, this along with my photography and splash art and I'm now officially an arty type with zero skill or creativity (at least, that's what if always assumed until 4 years ago, late bloomer you see)
Again, a million thanks
