Testing A Mini Spray Gun By Spray Gunner

[@yotsie32]

You need to release a fan cap for the .7 needle on your Swallowtail airbrush. I've had good luck on a couple of kits using the Wicked Colors thinning 50/50, but would like to go with a fan cap at .7. Great review on the No Name but I love the atomization of the Swallowtail.

[@patflm02]

Hi! I am trying to paint tamiya 1:14 models with my wicked paints and rushed a lot to got a good finish that look better than sand paper…! Did you thin this 50/50 with 4011 ? I primed with tamiya spray can primer!

[@randallbourque1321]

That is made for people like me who make BIG props. Its seems pretty great for that type of work.

[@lylebriggs923]

As always thanks for the quick informational video Robert 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rodneynoble452]

Thanks for the video, I was considering this gun.

[@ippaku]

Happy Memorial Day thank you to all that have served and our serving. Proud patriot member supporting the channel. Wishing everyone else a wonderful week ahead as well. Be well be you.

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

24 seconds after the video posted! Lol Off to watch it now... have a great holiday weekend Robert! ✌️😎

[@boomerrubble]

Another awesome video Robert! Any chance you may do your own line of military inspired paint colors for us WWII model makers?

[@makoajohnson2341]

Happy memorial day man thanks for the weekend vid!

[@sgtatarms4780]

Thanks for the testing on a holiday weekend

[@jjgam]

was waiting for this review....has some custom paint to lay on my Jeep fenders....swallowtail for the win! thanks bud

[@eileencollins3126]

Grex saves the day!!! The needle looks huge!!!

[@aChubbyHedgehog]

I hope to one day have a work shop like yours. Great video as always!

[@rindarusdi]

Big chonky spraygun right there, and the o-ring really shines among the spraygun. And oh the 0.6 mm which is a nice option. Nice vids.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you

[@lylebriggs923]

Have a great memorial day Robert an enjoy

[@EricGalley-i3y]

B Rex, thanks for another great veido. I use this mini gun for spraying 1/10 scale rc bodies. I have had it for awhile now and it hasn't let me down.

[@thehazmatguy480]

Interesting air brush / mini gun. I bought a PS-290 last year and have been using it to paint a 1/24 semi truck. The box van has been a new challenge because I had to load it with with light green paint to get good, even coverage. The PS-290 cup was too small and i had to load it many times to get full coverage. So, the big cup with this makes a bit of sense.

[@davidhamilton5171]

A few months late, but you can buy a larger paint cup for the PS-290 at Spray Gunner. Have one for mine and it's good quality.

[@reylen3883]

Hey Robert, thank you for the videos. I know that youve done “how to clean your airbrush” videos before. Is there a new coming up? Have you learned any new tricks to clean the airbrush or new ways? Im having trouble cleaning my mobius .3 after using primer and its thinn

[@wingnutbert9685]

That needle looks like one of the tungsten's for a TIG welder!

[@Shakes_The_Clone]

🎉 5:50 I love those “ink well” shaped jars. Do you have a link?

[@photosjp2087]

Good to spray paints whith flake, My favorite.

[@guidorea8347]

Looks good!....🙂👍 I finally bought my Black Widow by Spectrum airbrush kit at Harbor Freight yesterday part #59584 and I can't wait to try it out on a model car body some time this week....🙂

[@imrozgill9711]

thanks alot for reviewing it .. i have been wanting to get it after buying gp850. All the other ones are crap .. theres recent 1 the black widow but yeah unless u wana become a spaygun mechanic rather than the artist 😅 good luck with that .

[@dixensizzler]

would love for you to test out a spraygun with a smaller cup ,since dont use that much paint but airbrushes really cant handle pearls and metalflake ..tropical glitz has an adapter kit that they said worked with their hundred dollar spray gun ive been tempted to try out.

[@komma8203]

Is that a better option than a small actul spray gun? Are you doing a show-off video for us patrions of all the paints? Would love to see

[@randallbourque1321]

Yes, because it doesn't need a giant compressor. Most spray guns need much more power.

[@HeatPursuitX]

beautiful blue

[@MoonWind32690]

I haven't been able to find a black dupli-color primer sadly. I like their clear and would have liked a source of reasonably cheap lacquer primer but nothing but rattle cans.

[@lastshadow9351]

Great test! Yeah, that's up my alley for sure. I do a lot of restoration work and the stuff I work on is kind of midsized. It does look pretty good, but their price point seems high for what it is. I'll have to check it out more closely because my LPHV mini gun is in that needle range and really nice quality made in Italy and right there in price. Maybe their target market is using the Iwatas that are similarly sized. I'll have to look into it more deeply. Thanks for the review!

[@andrewwilks2700]

The Iwata LPH80-082G is only $40 more and you can adjust air to the fan cap. If you allow different bigger nozzles for thicker paint, you need to be able to turn up the fan cap air. The swallowtail gets around this by only giving you a fan cap for the .5mm tip, so that locks you into a viscosity that works well in 18 - 22psi.

[@lastshadow9351]

@@andrewwilks2700 Thanks! I appreciate the info!

[@nismojukerich2994]

That'd be GREAT for the 1/12 and 1/8 scale car kits I have to build but it's a little too much for me at the moment. Maybe I'll be able to catch it on a sale.

[@Jaysmodelbench]

Hi B-Rex, I hope this isn't a silly question but should the fan cap be vertical or horizontal? Same question for the swallow tail too. Jay from England.

[@andrewwilks2700]

Depends on which way you're working, that's why it turns. For most cases, the horns should be left and right which makes your paint fan vertical and you move the gun horizontally. But if you're painting something tall and skinny, it might be more convenient to put the horns top and bottom and paint up and down.

[@Jaysmodelbench]

@@andrewwilks2700 thank you I thought it sprayed same as horns! I am new to airbrushing.

[@Repairman87]

Would be interesting to see how well the No Name spray gun can spray 2k clears.

[@robertfousch2703]

Have 3 Iwata guns 0.6, 1.0, and 1.2mm (with fan on the last one). The Fortress has the CFM needed to drive them.

[@theintake8961]

Good video! Thanks 😎👍

[@rmfberry261]

i would love to see a spray pattern comparison between this and the swallowtail with the fan cap.

[@bobrivett7645]

Nice video Robert, it works pretty well. Maybe someone who those 1/16th scale military models couls use one of these. I dont so i will stick to my swallowtail for now. Have a great Memorial Day everyone, God Bless all our veterans.

[@jameshopkins2800]

Hey, Rex. What size grex cup and will any cup fit? Grex model #?

[@jameshopkins2800]

Thanks. Like I say, you are the man!

[@moparnut6286]

Swallowtail has. A .7 needle option with fan cap? If this is true I would buy one.... The mini gun is a great tool for large size models and even toys and bicycles... My smallest mini spray gun is a devillbiss knock off .8 and it sprays awesome.. At $200 its a bit pricey for a noname... Better at the $150 mark.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Fan cap on the Swallowtail is a 0.5mm

[@moparnut6286]

​@@barbatosrex9473thanks I new that when I heard you say .7 I got excited cause I would love a swallowtail with .3 and .7 fan cap options... Maybe you can talk to Gaahleri and make my dream come true.. The new HFT blackwidow trigger airbrush comes with a .3 fan cap option hope you review it when you get a chance... I did a review on my channel and for $70 it's a good buy.

[@GeneYott]

I like the wicked blue pearl I use it to paint my ps5 cover

[@richie_rich75]

Yeah price point is a bit high. I would love to use it on my rc car polycarbonate plastic body bcoz of the big fan cap. But as always love watch all ur videos u upload and keep up the good work u do.

[@chesterlewis-iq3rp]

Great video

[@PopArow4702]

Great video and a great gift idea where can we get a full set?

[@barbatosrex9473]

www.splash-paints.com/barbatosrex

[@PopArow4702]

Going to get both set's

[@MechaBorne]

Hey I was wondering which Jumpwind metallic you think is closest to Alclad II Chrome or Beskar, I'm working on a Mandalorian helmet and I have a bunch of JW but no Alclad lol

[@crispy_338]

Duralumen from the Digital Armory is super close

[@barbatosrex9473]

Unfortunately Jumpwind doesn't make a chrome. Try Etsy, they sell one called Duralumen Tuff Chrome. It's very good and they show Beskar armor painted with it on the site

[@MechaBorne]

@@barbatosrex9473 Ooooh that's perfect thank you so much!!!

[@prowler8514]

? have you ever tried spaz stix 10900 clear coat on alclad chrome or polished aluminum paints

[@barbatosrex9473]

I have it here but I didn't try it yet

[@Glasmn45]

Great video sir. The conical jar you use, where did you get that, p!ease? Is there a name for it?

[@rick223g6]

Can you paint a model car with that electric air brush gun please

[@michaelbraun5943]

So are you going about 50/50 ratio on the Duplicolor primer or a little less?

[@barbatosrex9473]

A little less but it does need thinning. It sprays spider webs if it's not thinned more

[@lylebriggs923]

It sprays vary nice but at this time I don't think I really need one that big an powerful

[@scottdammer1840]

I think you need more paint😁

[@charlyguendulain8972]

Which wicked color blue did you use???

[@barbatosrex9473]

Blue Pearl

[@teddyjones8027]

Yeah too rich for my wallet. Thank you for sharing, wishing everyone a Happy and very safe Memorial day. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊God Bless 🙏

[@CrimsonFlagg]

Hi everybody. I hope all of you are doing well.

[@ronniepaulinc]

200 bucks?... Nah fam

[@nismojukerich2994]

If it was like $140-150 tops I'd might consider it. For that price though I'll wait for a sale.

[@voodoonights1671]

HI. Try the Procon-Boy PS290. It is way cheaper and is the same sorta thing. I have one but found it is mostly a bit big for most things. It was useful for a larger RC Model i painted for someone but it goes unused mostly but does actually work very well.

[@barbatosrex9473]

It's currently $189 on Amazon and it includes the 0.6mm needle nozzle set too

[@danrussell3439]

Is it true you have over 10,000 air brushes?

[@barbatosrex9473]

That is false, I have 9,000

[@nickgorkov81]

Добрый день ! Скажите , в Россию сможете отправить набор аэрографов ( как подарочный ) и краску от Splash ? Good afternoon! Tell me, can you send a set of airbrushes and Splash paint to Russia?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Splash ships worldwide

[@devinrussell420]

I would rather buy Harbor Freight's brand new Black Widow By Spectrum gravity fed dual action trigger airbrush that comes with both a .5mm and .8mm needle/nozzle and fan cap set for $75.00,before I would ever spend $220.00 on this No Name By SprayGunner gravity fed dual action trigger Mini Spray Gun.
