As someone who bought an airbrush+compressor kit on a whim, this was a godsend. Thank you

[@rayfabris2512]

I did the same thanks for you tube it's a great channel when you have questions on something you've never done or like me I improved my guitar playing without paying a teacher $50 or more a week but some of the political crap I live without and I can just skip it a lot lol so have a good day 😊 from California

[@klj5150]

Sir, I have been researching airbrush systems, etc. and looking for tutorials on actually using and practicing with them. You started from step one for beginners and showed the technique and maintenance. One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen. You made my fear go away and I will be purchasing a system a lot sooner now. Thank you.

[@Wings_of_foam]

There are 100s of tutorials just like this. You can't be serious dude.

[@LorraineTapper]

​@Wings_of_foam Just because you have seen them doesn't mean others have. I have been searching for a couple of years for something like this and KZbin has only shown this today. What was the point of your smug comment?

[@chrisleach4245]

I just got one for Christmas and I have never even watched anybody paint with a airbrush. Thank you for the information I will be watching what else you have to teach me. Again thank you and great job.

Good job! I am going to start getting back into model building and this time I want to build and paint them properly. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@slaup1163]

this video is gold. internet's infinite knowledge gotta love it. thank you for your work making this video!

[@robstarburst]

What a fantastic guide! I have never touched an airbrush before, but upon watching it, immediately made everything about maintaining an airbrush less daunting. Now to find a supplier within Australia for the kit you use, and I'll be set!

[@lindarodgers1401]

I just found you and thank goodness I did!!!! I'm getting my first airbrush in a couple of days. Thank you so very much for this video.

[@tomashultgren4117]

Excellent introduction! I particularly like the fact that he speaks slowly and clearly. This means that for us who aren't British born and aren't accustomed to the thicker local accents, we can still follow easily. One tiny extra tip - remember to always start and finish every stroke with air ONLY. That is: air on - paint on - paint off - air off. Otherwise you tend to get unsigthly blobs of paint at the beginning and and end of the stroke.

[@royfearn4345]

I've been airbrushing for many years, and I endorse everything you say. Although meant for beginners, your article has helped me become aware of a few bad habits I've picked up over that time, so many thanks.

[@noorulhaque9027]

Can any type of paint can be filled on it,like epoxy and all Fpe plastic,metal cement etc,clearcots etc

[@smackroscoe]

Thank you for your service. Bless you & all that you do for us. Much respect.

[@pilkjaer]

Thank you for the video. I bought myself exactly the same compressor after watching your video and some other reviews and now I watch it again to actually follow along and try out my airbrush for the first time.

[@ceeme03]

Thanks so much for making this video, out of the hours I've spent looking at guides this has been the most helpful. I'm about to pick up a airbrush, compressor etc and this has given me the info and confidence to practice using those simple exercises.

[@DarcyBonoCreations]

THANK YOU so soooo much! I actually received that exact airbrush as a gift, and though I'm absolutely thrilled, I'm also absolutely terrified. This video was exactly what I needed. You've saved me so much time and research. All the best to you!

Thank you! I've wanted to start using an airbrush and this video made me much more confident in purchasing one to start on.

[@PixiesandDust130]

Thank you! I was randomly given an airbrush from a relative and had no idea how to use it or what I needed, this was a big help!

[@HolySchmidt]

Thank you. That took a lot of mystery out of airbrushing!

[@theanomalous1401]

Thanks for the video, Mate. I just recently got my first compressor and airbrushes and am eager to get started. My primary focus is going to be painting model cars, but I may try other things as I become comfortable with the process. This may sound rather elementary to most and as simple as pie but it's a little more than that to me because I have been diagnosed with early onset of Parkinsons disease. I'm all in when it comes to succeeding at this and I am going to fight this setback and win. Thank you again mate for breaking this down to the novice level, that really helps.

[@craynak]

Thank you for making this video. As a strictly paint brush person, my challenge to myself in lockdown is to learn how to use the airbrush for simple priming, zenithal highlights and more. You video has made me learn the absolute beginner tips and I’ll continue to watch it till I can remember it from memory. Thanks for producing such a clear video!

[@heatherandles]

His voice is soothing lol I'm watching before bed and I'm relaxed. So full of great tips and airbrushing knowledge! Thanks for helping out us "newbies" lol

Most informative! I just finished making a spray booth so I can paint my HO scale models. This video takes away a lot of hesitation and apprehension of that first airbrush project. Thank you very much!

+kawaiipetal Thank you and I will try to fit that in my next video in the series :)

[@davedogge2280]

Do you have to do all that cleaning for each airbrush colour paint change ??!?!?? that's a lot of work. I am a beginner and I bought one of those high frequency vibration water tank cleaners usually used for jewelry, I hope it works.

[@ZupaWabbit]

the correct name for that is "ultrasonic cleaner", yeah that's the best way of cleaning the parts.

[@jeffsydor9430]

Thank you sir! This makes it much easier to understand. I’m more confident in trying out the airbrush I bought a few months ago now.

[@johnhannibal5108]

I learned something! the whole press and forward for release and paint. Thank you

[@williamhenry2290]

I bought a Neo for Iwata couple weeks ago and just got around to trying it out for the first time last night. I was quite happy with the result despite never using a airbrush before. Bought a cheap snap together model tank to learn on. Other then couple small sputter spots it came out good looking.

[@bamman999]

Thankyou for this video, after finally persuading myself to get an airbrush I can finally paint a lot quicker, cleaner, smoother and more reliably than brush, very excited to start my first airbrush model, gone for the 'Neo for Iwata' airbrush to start with and will likely get something better once I get the hang of this one first. The corner of my room is looking like a model shop in itself, so now I can finally get them all made and painted properly.

[@nigelduncan-adam5988]

Thank you very much of all the vids I have watched you are the only one who has actually explained and demonstrated how to adjust the air pressure all others say what pressures they like to use but don’t explain how to adjust the thing so thank you very much excellent instructions

[@vickyhickman5368]

Me: Show me how to use my air brush, only explain it to me like I'm two. You: Say no more! This is great. I was given and airbrush and compressor. I cam here looking for a beginner tutorial and most of them seem to assume that we should know how to set the thing up. You did a fantastic job of just showing the basics! Thank you!

[@OrcPainterNerd]

+TheTFReview Thats awesome I hope your enjoying airbrushing :)

[@judyhopps9380]

Nerd, sorry to be thick but I'm a complete noob. I've got an airbrush and compressor. I turn it on, the pressure skyrockets, and then it turns itself off. Do I need a tank to attach to it to store the compressed air?

[@benthornton8749]

Does it have a regulator attached?

[@charlesc6320]

Ben Thornton - Yes. In the beginning, if you remember he adjusted a dial. That dial is linked to the regulator, and is used to adjust the PSI.

[@charlesc6320]

Naho Saenoki - Do you have an internal or external regulator? If you have an external, this will make more sense because you can see the actions in real time, with dual gauges, one monitors the tank overall PSI, and the other displays the output PSI. Every compressor, that I've dealt with anyway, from a low volume airbrush, to my shops 29 gal, 150 PSI will run until it hits its 'full' cutoff point, or you decide it's full enough to complete your task at hand, and shut down manually. This, however, doesn't have anything to do with your output PSI. So, after being used, and your compressor falls below a preset tank PSI then it should automatically switch back on to refill the tank. This is normal, and you can actually hear the compressor kick on in the video a time or two. I know this is an old post, but I hope this helps. Let me know if there are any questions.
