i have been fed up of making nothing but a nasty mess when tryng to decant spray paint, untill i watched and tried this method, the only mess i had was the tape around the nozel when removing it. Big thankyou for sharing this, its saved me time and costs, and given me mess free. Again Thankyou.

I guess it pays to watch videos on what you know about. I have not tried decanting paint yet (I find more colors in bottles than in spray cans). This was the 1st video I've seen (and have seen many) that mentions letting the paint sit to degas. I did not know this! Never saw the "cover the bottle" step either. Thanks for the information.

Thank you so so much for making this. No idea how it came up in my feed, but glad it did. I’ve been getting used to spray painting Rc shells and recently got myself a ‘wireless’ airbrush. I’ve got a few jars of paint specifically for the airbrush, but as I still have and use spray cans I want to make use of those with my airbrush too…you have just opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me. Well done, many thanks A greatful ‘newbie’ 😂 Ps liked and subscribed 🙏😎🤟🇬🇧🇺🇸🇱🇰

This an excellent educational video. One of the most frustrating things about modeling is finding a bottled paint to match spray paint. This technique solves the problem. No more guess work. Decant and use just like bottled paint. Thank you.

Gloves help for sure, I've tried cutting the can and pouring out the paint in jars, but you leave a lot of paint in the can, so no good, I've tried this way just without gloves and straws , so I'm gonna give it another shot , no pun intended, thanks for the video

Very helpful! Might try this out; I've been content just decanting a very small amount of paint into a plastic cup "on the go" and then pouring it into my airbrush, which in my experience cuts out the degassing time entirely, but this looks far more efficient.

Try this at your own risk. I take full cans and make a small puncture hole in the top dome. Once the air is out you can put a small screw to seal and keep.

Just a thought but could you swap out the top with a WD40 nozzle and use the supplied straw?

As long as you've not sprayed WD40 through either, maybe. This way is completely disposable and you don't have to worry about cross contamination.

Once it is done degassing. Do you need to add thinners or oils to it for long term storage? Or can you just put the lid on it as is and it won't dry out???

Yes you should be adding a few drops of thinner depending on the jar size.

Thanks for another great video. A tip is if decanting paints or primers from the same manufacture, example Krylon, try modifying the spray nozzle so it can be used again. I use a Dremel to hollow out the inside of plastic spray nozzle to snuggly fit the drinking straw. If you do this right it stays firmly in place and doesn’t require tape, and after use can be cleaned and ready for the next decant. Krylon Colormax primer plus paint, either black, gray, or white as long as it is matte or flat finish , Thinned with acetone, is my go to primer that can be decanted and airbrushed. It’s Very thin, grips like crazy, sandable after 24 hours, and inexpensive

Very interesting thanks. How do you clean your airbrush after using paint from a spray can? I am not sure but it seems a solvent acrylic paint so I cant just clean with regular aribrush cleaner.

Hi, thank you so much for this tutorial. Is decanting clear coat a viable alternative to using it from a rattle can and would it be usable in an airbrush?
@rillsleather Жыл бұрын
What happens when you let it sit and then come back to find a clear liquid on top? Is this the propellant? Do I need to mix it up again and maybe warm it up a bit to encourage it to evaporate?
@FineScaleModelermagazine Жыл бұрын
Hi Rills: If it's not bubbling anymore, the propellant has gassed off. The color has settled and the clear is the carrier. Go ahead and stir your paint thoroughly and then apply via your airbrush.
@stevepritchard39702 жыл бұрын
I have so far got away with attaching the straw to the nozzle with blu tack rather than tape. I also haven't found I need a rubber glove (or anything else) covering the receiving jar. I think the propellent escapes more easily if there is no cover. I do transfer the paint outdoors or in the garage, just to be on the safe side.

I just tried this for the first time with a can of mr surfacer white, and I let it sit over night. I went to poor it into a different jar and it foamed and overflowd out of the jar like a soda. 2-3 hours isn't enough for some paints.

I read that spray paint has larger pigmant particles and has a tendency to clog the airbrush, unless thinned. You did not seem to thin it or anything. Can you adress this. Is tamyia thinner because its made for modles. I have a bunch of army painter spray primers I would love to decant and use through my airbrush but I was hoping that sence they are ment to be "sprayed" they would work through my brush. Thanks Dave

do you put leveling thinner before starting airbrush? also how do you clean it after that?
I just learned the hard way that you should NOT put a popsicle stick (OR ANYTHING ELSE) into the paint while the chemicals air off. The paint was not bubbling, but rather a slow roll like a pot of water heating up. As soon as I stuck the stick into the paint it erupted like a volcano. Unfortunately I was holding it at the time so I now look like a giant Smurf. So don’t do what I did!

What this guy fails to mention is whether the decanted paint should be thinned more ? I am using Rustoleum enamel spray paint. When I use testors bottle enamel , I use 2 parts paint to 1 part lacquer thinner. The lacquer thinner works better then enamel thinner cuz it dries faster. I sometimes shoot 13 coats. However, I don't think , i know I can't get away with that with decanted paint unless its thinned .

@FineScaleModelermagazine8 ай бұрын
Not all spray paints are the same. If you are decanting lacquer or enamel spray paints and airbrushing them, you should use the appropriate thinner to clean your airbrush. Isopropyl alcohol may work with some paints for cleaning your airbrush--mainly acrylics, although you should be careful trying to use alcohol to clean Vallejo acrylics. For enamels or lacquers, use enamel or lacquer thinner, respectively, then flush your airbrush with water.
