Airbrushing the tool roll for the fade effect

[@rich6489]

Do you have a recommendation for an airbrushing kit to get started?

Rich T. I bought a cheap one and it gets the job done.

Hello again, Bob what type of dye are you using to spray the different colours?.. is it water based paint(Like eco flo "cova color") - or water based dye (Like eco flo "waterstain") or maybe standard oil/alcohol based dye like Fiebings.... I just got an airbrush and am ok with spraying but very cofused with what dye to spray, without clogging the airbrush or damaging the o-ring seals with IPA ...or having my design rub off. Also what finish do you apply to keep the colours safe from wear and weather? Do you spray it on or rub t on? Hope you can help -you did last time...I asked about your maul and now I have a 20oz Barry King too..it rocks! Skål Pete

The Pete I'm using findings oil dye, it works great.

Cool..and no problems with the IPA thinners damaging o-rings etc?... also what colours did you use on that tool roll?..it looks like general light tan base colour, then mid brown edges and finally saddle tan fading...Am I close? Do you seal it with resolene? if so spray or by hand?
