Hello From Virginia Beach!

[SeniorXJ]

Just getting into airbrushing because I need a way to paint parts with accuracy and control. Most stuff I'm painting will be metals, aluminum, brass and different forms of steel. I also want to aquire knowledge of different kinds of paints in order to have a better outcome. One thing of importance is clear coating w/hardener. I need a way to make the paint more durable while protecting it and making it look good all at the same time!

My equipment so far is a GHAD-39 airbrush and a Timbertech thankless compressor. Still trying to get a hose that works.

I look forward to talking to you kind folks and furthering my knowledge!

Thanks!

It would have to be through an airbrush though as the parts are small. Painting detail with a rattle can is near impossible.
