Welcome back to the Time Warp Custom Paint KZbin channel! In this video, I finally get my hands on the highly anticipated Black Widow airbrush that I've been eagerly waiting for since its debut at Sema in Las Vegas last year. Join me as I unbox the Black Widow airbrush and the matching compressor with a 2 L tank that I recently picked up at my local Harbor Freight.
I share my first impressions of both the Black Widow airbrush and compressor, plug them in, and test their functionality to ensure they work correctly. Stay tuned for future videos where I dive deeper into the features and functionality of this Black Widow airbrush and compressor set.

If you’re reading this they’re trash don’t buy one, at least not until I’ve got mine then you can go buy one 😂

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

lol

[@99sentcoins]

I have a badger & a paasche gun, NIB and I still choose the Harbor Freight $3 gun I bought 20 years ago. Those are great guns, but any gun is a good gun if you know what you are doing.

[@dwoodworker1]

The problem with buying harbor freight airbrushes is they do not offer replacement parts to purchase such as needle and nozzle. If they are offering those for this new airbrush than that’s good otherwise better to invest in something where parts are available.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

You just take it back with the receipt and get a whole new one

[@calvinjones9716]

What about replacement parts?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Talks it back with receipt and get a whole now one

[@ronniepaulinc]

bro that tip you changed over to is a fan tip.. totally differnt spray pattern

[@andyvan5692]

no, at 17:46 what is meant, is for two configurations, one with the QD at the compressor end, say for a school setup, where, like in a chemistry lab, with the gas supply for Bunsen burners, the hose is on the tool, not the supply side; OR for expensive Airbrushes, it's best to take the tool and store it separately, to avoid damage, so having a QD at the tool end is advantageous, like car spray guns, these tools can be custom items owned by the sprayers, and the company owns the compressor, pipes, etc. so at the end of a 'day', the creative takes HIS tool home, or puts it in his locker, for safe keeping.

[@stevenarmer8245]

I agree

[@takemebacktothen]

3:19 Looks like they listened cause they include a 0.2 and 0.5 nozzle now heh

[@CoreyB0]

It looks like only the Trigger Airbrush does not the Precision-Control one according to their website

[@BUBS_HD]

Hopefully there's not as much disappointment as some parents have. 🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Seems legit so far

[@DaveANeely]

Ooooo I want one of those to add to my collection that I already have

[@moparnut6286]

Funny I feel the same way!😂

[@Chris-fh1pt]

I picked up the airbrush and compressor Friday but haven't had a chance to test them out yet......it's killing me

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

So, their website shows that this has a .2 & .5 needle included. I wonder what's going on?

[@nightshadedesign]

.2 and .3 seem so close in diameter that I wonder if there's much difference in performance? I would prefer the .5, to be honest.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

I think that the trigger airbrush

[@ruggedlyhandsome744]

@@TimeWarpCustomPaint This was before they released the trigger airbrush. I'm hoping that's how they will come 👍

[@jameshopkins5702]

Great done perfect for doing bigger Fleshtone figures and overlay paint and highlights I wouldn’t recommend it for Detail miniature work

[@TheStickyBusiness]

It looks very similar to one of the NEOECO airbrush models

[@jamesofallthings3684]

Harbor freight is the only company I can think of that has been increasing their quality not their prices.

[@ronniepaulinc]

so there is a point to each type of airbrush, bucket on top aka gravity feed requires less air so you can do much finer work and get away with a budget compressor. Bucket underneath requires more air but allows you to really apply the paint for large surfaces but you are gonna need some airflow and that takes you out of the range of these cheap compressors. The biggest thing to look for is tip size though. anywhere from a .2 to a .7.. The point 7 is going to be a trigger style gun like you see with the HVLP and you can even get a fan tip starting around the .5 for automotive stlye large coverages.

[@johnsabia3793]

Sad I missed the live. I’m excited to use my Black Widow today on some project boards and a fender I’m doing.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

It actually wasn’t live. It’s just a video premiere.

[@johnsabia3793]

Oh it looked like there was a live chat.

[@bradleynorton1085]

pretty sure that stuff in the little container is beeswax not lube. use it to seal up the threads on the airbrush when the o rings fail on the nozzle cap and the cup it will work for sure if its bees wax

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Yes thanks 🙏

[@afv-studio]

Hahaha... They even supply bees wax because the threads are so poorly made you need it to stop it leaking at every thread 🤣🤣

[@DaveANeely]

I use all Iwata products

[@ronjon5386]

I like the black widow touch up gun. It’s nice

[@bravizturnbull2358]

I don't know if you've seen the new one, but they just came out with a trigger style airbrush, and it looks super, Nice.Spectrum's doing big things.

[@AlexanderScapin]

Hi, I have two questions, what did you pay for both items?? Is there any chance still to get one of these or was it a special edition and its gone? Thanks

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

79.99. Yes you can get them.

[@stevenarmer8245]

I noticed the gauge doesnt show at what pressure your spraying. It says how much air is in the tank, but not what air pressure your getti g through the gun. Thats an important bit of info when your spraying paint

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Good point. Thanks for mentioning this..

[@stevent1074]

LETS GOOOOO! I’m stoked!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

🎉🎉✌️✌️

[@rickakins]

Hello! I was the very first person to buy mine at the Harbor Freight in Lakewood New York. I haven't used it yet but hey I got one too.

[@BrianMikasa]

Wondering if I should return my Amazon Master airbrush and buy this 🤔

[@georgep6411]

Just purchased Base coat binder 54-9102 to use as a carrier for lime line flake could you tell me the best mix ratio for this procedure, appreciate all your videos and have picked up a lot of useful information.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Mix basecoat binder, one-to-one with urethane reducer to make it sprayable. and mix in one packet of flake in 1 pint

[@fatmike5038]

No replacement parts or nozzles available for purchase

[@flytye350]

Can you paint Hot Wheels with this setup? I want to customize my own hot wheels.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Yes

[@rmfberry261]

the needle sizes are a weird choice. i would expect the .3 to b a .4 or .5

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Same here

[@jasondavis6742]

Great Review... I will have to check out my local HF to see if they have in stock. I am currently offering a local college Intro to Airbrushing class, and this setup would be perfect for new artists to use and not break their wallet. THANKS!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Awesome

[@Diablo760]

25% off one item this weekend. Looks like I’m gonna go get this compressor lol.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Really ?

[@robertmunoz7543]

ARTISTE ready?😂 Jman

[@jacobharrell3469]

Love your work. Youre a great communicator and an even better artist. Do you ever repaint engines, and would you consider making a vidoe on that topic?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

I haven’t m. Thanks for watching

[@rickakins]

I also have the Iwata neo and I have one made by Mac tools.

[@jeremydiamonds70]

Adam, did they have it at riverdale or layton harbor freight? Thanks man

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

I got mine at Riverdale

[@nimster64]

Do they sell the hoses separately? I have a small compressor with a hose for a badger

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

comes with it

[@airbrushdungeon]

I was given a choice by the wife for Father's Day. This brush, or the Gaahleri Mobius 0.2. I opted for the latter, and I'm not disappointed. I still want the Widow, and a Sotar 20/20. That way I have backups in case my other 16 brushes break down.😇 Did I mention that I have a problem?.

[@spaceling7785]

WHERE IS THE LINK TO SHOP FOR THIS ITEM/S?

[@starsiegeplayer]

Harbor freight website. Search for black Widow

[@taxman9910]

Harbor freight 🤔🤔🤔

[@evangelositskos8718]

Are u doing any more paint classes for custom

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Soon

[@Bluespade115]

Have you tried the Worx brand one? I bought the full kit that comes with it. And I cannot figure out how to actually spray with it 😂

[@errymil]

Can you use the same compressor for clearcoat or basecoat? Just a new member here trying to save money.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

It can be used for basecoat, but you need a larger Gun for clearcoat and primer

[@errymil]

@@TimeWarpCustomPaint thanks for the reply. Really helpful. Been binging on your videos. But can I use the same compressor for all the spray paint even with the larger gun?

[@garypio2241]

Were the hoses meant to "hard plumb" connect to the comp ?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

No, it came with larger, quick connects

[@hypnotik1fly]

Hopefully get one this weekend

[@sleepe361]

I've been debating what type if airbrush i should start with a cheap harbor freight one or a decent iwata one I've seen at hobby lobby.

[@nathanielmathews4825]

With the new black widow, I wouldn't be afraid to go with the hobo freight. I have an eclipse and its fantastic, but both the harbor freight airbrushes I have work great too!

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

better return policy on the HF

[@afv-studio]

Go with H&S. The new Evolution is better than the old Infinity and the Engineering on H&S is Top draw, not like this cheap and nasty monstrosity. But you wont find a Spider logo on H&S

[@bobgiacobbi5934]

I got the first one in central New York today.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Awesome 👏

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool 👍

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thanks

[@scottyboy6269]

Paasche Talon?

[@ryanfriedli2353]

Looks and seems legit!

[@JasonHartsoe]

No link to the products?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

linked

[@bradleyyounger8499]

Price on both is pretty good.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

For sure👍

[@ethankratz1854]

Got both 2!!

[@ChrisAcker-rd5jg]

I got one friday also but haven't used yet. Getting ready to paint my bagger.

[@nightshadedesign]

Sir, it's been a few weeks for you using it now. Any additional impressions?

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

All good

[@bravizturnbull2358]

I got one to.and honestly it works pretty decent and what's crazy is i have a harder and steenbeck airbrush witch is expensive but you can swap nozzle, needle.and aircap witch saved me like 50 just the parts alone haha but thanks for the review

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Good to know!

[@fabbike1805]

💯

[@reneholstkristensen9429]

wow 👍👍👍👍

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SMRKustoms]

Should have made it black and red.

[@jamescrafton799]

I bought mine Friday haven't used it yet though

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Awesome

[@svmeyer04]

I bought both! One of my quick connects with the compressor is bad and they are making me bring back the whole thing just to replace it but it works great! The airbrush im not happy with... ill give it one more try. When i was testing it i would get a paint burst after finishing putting paint down and pushing the trigger forward

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Interesting

[@svmeyer04]

I found out it may have been user error, I will test it tonight!

[@azarelthecreator7098]

Thats what happens when you dont keep the air flowing then you pull the needle in and out. If you stop blowing air when you release the trigger, once you go to paint again it will shoot the paint that collected on the tip of the needle out. this is user error.

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

Yes, you don’t wanna pull back on the trigger with no air unless you’re looking to make the splatter effect

[@raymondcarson9084]

I am looking forward to getting mine. I wish it was red and black. but still looks badass

[@victoralosi1461]

Key word harbor freight . I will never buy any thing from harbor freight ever again . Never ever never

[@afv-studio]

Rightly so.... If you know airbrushes you will see this is poor design from top to bottom, and ultimately cheap crap. If you want cheap then Fendga will be a better choice at half the price

[@DarrylMaclean]

Hahahaha😂 i knew this was coming..... everyone was posting their friday morning purchases

[@TimeWarpCustomPaint]

For sure believe it or not some people don’t have them yet

[@BrownRooster]

@@TimeWarpCustomPaintif they don’t have them on the shelf, ask for them and they might be in the back

[@ramza813]

You lost me at "harbor freight "

[@jimknott183]

You haven’t been there lately. They have up the game in the last 2-3 years. No need to snob out on them. They have good, better, best format…try again.

[@7THONK7]

Who sells these in Canada? Harbour Freight doesn't ship items here.
