I started with a Master Airbrush special from Amazon. I upgraded to the trigger Black Widow a week ago, it helped improve my airbushing and gave me more confidence. If anything it is a great intermediate airbrush if you're not sure you want to invest in more expensive options.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Great advice!! Thank you. 🙏

[@kjata090]

Def looks to be on par with Badger's popular airbrushes. Not bad to start or jump as intermediate.

I just got my Black Widow trigger type air brush today from harbor freight. ($79.95 for air brush, $17.00 for an extended two year warranty, plus local state tax, $102.00 total price). I haven't even opened it yet. Maybe I'll open it tomorrow. But it seems to have a lot of good positive reviews on KZbin with only a very few negative cons on those reviews. I already have several airbrushes. One of them is the Iwata Eclipse HP/CS. (A very good airbrush), I needed an air brush that I can hold and work because: (FYI, if you are interested that is) I have Esophageal Cancer, So, I'm now indefinitely on a specific type of Chemo Therapy (with infusion ball, and when I’m on that stuff (renewed every 14 days), it is hard to get my fingers to work an airbrush lever because the side effects of that chemo and infusion is that it causes my fingers to not want to move and feels like I’m being shocked with ten thousand volts ac house current in the tips (up to the first knuckles of my fingers, even if I just touch something), especially if the temperature drops down into the mid sixties or lower. - Drats’ I can’t even drink a cold one (or anything cold for that matter), as it always feels like it immediately turns to solid miniature ice crystals in my mouth. Do yourself a favor… Don’t get old it s… u… c… k… s. Oh wait, that never works either. Double Drats, and Darn it all. Oh well, so much for life. LOL. But I would suggest that you get one anyway it seems to have a lot of pro's to it with very few cons. Even my Iwata Eclipse was a lot higher in price than the Black Widow is. And even that's a plus and a pro for the Black Widow.

[@nitro914]

I like all the features and the exposed needle for fine work. Very nice.

[@darc0615]

It's good but can't find parts that fit it. The needle is 14cm long vs 13 which is all you can find on Amazon or anywhere else, so I can't even replace the needle for it. Needle is also thicker than the universal ones that master brush would use, so you can't swap parts....

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

​@@TimeWarpCustomPaintjust came across your site.your one badass painter.i have a challenge for you .I do model cars can you do a model car show us how to do the same paint jobs you do.but now downsize to 1/24 models.hope you can show us.

[@mikes1031]

Now we need to see if the Webmaker stuff from Lime Line will spray thru this Black Widdow correctly . Because lets face it, loading up a full size or even a mini gun, to spray a model car, truck, plane, T-Bucket dash panel or other really small project, just aint gonna cut it having to mixing up that much Webmaker paint. Maybe a Paasche Talon with the .66 needle and fan spray cap setup will work ?

[@jayknot6684]

I used mine last night for some small interior parts on my truck. Worked great. I think I prefer your mini gun for anything larger than say, 3 or 4 sq. ft. though just because of the size and amount of product it lays down.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Agreed 👍

[@RobertJones-ix2hu]

When you remove paint cup cap try twisting upwards & clockwise so you don’t accidentally loosen the cup itself. Maybe that will help 🤷🏼‍♂️ ... I am definitely gona tryout this trigger style airbrush!! Thanks for the review & upload! After this video I’ll have to watch your review on the compressor

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Good tip. The compressor is the best

[@REKlaus]

Thanks for a great video. Looks to me like the pressure is too high. As this style airbrush (I have 3 Creos ps290 and a paasche Talon with fan caps) does not have a fan control, the fan is controlled mainly by the pressure setting and to some degree the paint thickness.

[@sallyreim6668]

Thanks for the demo!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thanks for watching

[@A1998GatewayPC]

You know where can I get replacement nozzles? The air brush came with a 0.5mm and 0.3mm but I would love to have a 0.2mm

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

I don’t think you can. You’ll just take the whole airbrush back to Harbor freight

[@bradleyyounger8499]

When i seen that pattern i thought something was wrong.. clogged or something. Looks like it would be great with an even fan

[@MichaelTocchini]

Hey Adam, What mix ratio do you use for thinning airbrushing base

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

It depends on the basecoat that you’re using, but since you’re using an airbrush, usually, you would thin it out a little more than one to one

[@kuensu8449]

Thanks! Love your videos!

[@robertmunoz7543]

For good smooth 2K finish you might try rustoleum lacquer leveling thinner!🤔 Jman

[@juliusvalentinas]

How hard it is to clean? 2k is not something that will dissolve later. I use vaccum suction type airbrush with 1.0 nozzle, but I want flat spray pattern. Is there vaccum airbrushes with flat spray pattern?

[@viewoftoledo]

hey! i really dig that shovelhead you have back there in this video! 🤘🔥

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

[@pierreduplessis1507]

Does basecoat come only in white? If clearcoat comes in different colours what is your favourite colour? And does base coat affect the colours?

[@Jermz1979]

I'd like to see you do an entire tank with this, minus flake and flood over flake.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Maybe a peanut tank

[@Jermz1979]

@@TimeWarpCustomPaint a large 40ML cup may be beneficial for the airbrush gun. I know when I did my tank, after gunmetal flake, I was able to push some ultra fine .008 holographic flake over the top of it with my airbrush before clear coating. I just wanted a hint of the holographic color. I'm thinking of repainting my Street Bob and would seriously consider purchasing this whole kit if it meant I could do base to graphics to candy to clear using just this gun for shiz an giggles.

[@Akiraone230]

What did you reduce it with? the Limeline brand universal reducer or another brand? Do you think it might work with the other HF blackwidow dual action airbrush with .3 needle?

Yes LiME LiNE. I don’t think the needles are in interchangeable.

@@akierumthe Paasche brushes you have the talon raptor and vision brushes that all take the same heads, nozzles and needles. I have a talon siphon feed brush and have used it alot with good results.

[@gf2e]

@@TimeWarpCustomPaintAre there any disadvantages of using reducer like that? I have a couple very small areas that need touch up on my car, and I also want to polish and clear coat my headlights. I’m thinking of using 2K in an airbrush. I could use a 2K rattle can, but I’d prefer to do small sections at a time and don’t want to have to use a whole $20 can every time I want to do a little bit. Does an airbrush seem like the right way to do that? Do you have any suggestions where I can get smaller quantities of 2K clear coat? I don’t really want a gallon. :)
