What’s up, I’ve been airbrushing for 30 years and I saw one of these and I had to pick one up. When I first tried it, it was sputtering and spitting until I found the secret. The needle and nozzle it comes with is too thin to spray with. So I got a 0.5 needle and nozzle, after that it works like butter. BIG difference. It will never replace my Iwatas or my compressor but it’s good to do quick sketches and to take on the go. Good video by the way.👍🏽

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Oh nice man! That’s good to hear

[@peterdickinson4599]

This is a cool video. I’m a miniature painter. So it is really interesting to see what other people use airbrushes for, and the tolerances they expect to be normal for airbrush usage. It would NEVER have occurred to me to try and use one of these portable brushes to paint a pair of sneakers. I mean, come on! It’s running at about 18PSI max. But for painting minis, at close to midnight, when you’re able to grab two hours of hobby time, while everyone else is asleep.... these devices are so quiet, so unobtrusive that family might believe that you’re actually doing something productive - like a bit of banking or investing. Honestly, this gear is far from perfect, but it has it’s place. It’s weak, but quiet, so you can be super sneaky and get stuff done and no-one is the wiser.

[@kareemabdul3773]

I used it for barbering

[@derrickwagenknecht4909]

This airbrush isn't designed to cover massive areas. It is built to be an affordable option for those that airbrush fingernails, mini's, and small items. Additionally they don't have the same size needle. There is a huge difference between an airbrush with a .5 needle which the badger has, and a .3 needle. Of course there will be less volume of painted sprayed when the needle is smaller. In this case you would be getting about 1/3 the volume, which I think is reflected in your testing.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Agree on all fronts. I just think there will be a lot of temptation for shore artist starting out to get something this small

I started with this cordless airbrush version. It was painful to work with it. The nozzle broke off (when I tried to switch it carfefully), after 5 weeks and the compressor died in week 7. It took ages to clean the airbrush. It took years to build up layers, no matter how thin the paint was. Imagine working with a clogged airbrush, because that is how it felt all the time. If you buy cheap, you will buy twice! My Harder & Steenbeck Evolution really showed me, what airbrushing should be like lol.

I bought one of these cordless airbrushes and was underwhelmed by it. Im used to a regular badger airbrush so my first impression of the cordless one is a lack of airpower.

As an Airbrush newb, the self contained airbrush system you've being demonstrating has me now wondering if setting aside rattle cans that have served me well over the years in painting models in favour of this type of thing that requires a fair bit of learning to master has been such a crash hot idea. I'll see how it goes, but I've a feeling that if current practice is serving you well, why change for a journey into the unknown? The immediate advantage to me is that using an airbrush allows for almost endless colour variations. No bad thing as it happens but, necessary, or ideal, even, who knows? The attraction here of course was the self contained powering of the airbrush and so avoiding the purchasing of an air compressor. The airbrush and its can of electrical energy will arrive here sometime next week, I bought local rather than from overseas. This allows for less troubles if something goes wrong and the tool needs to be returned for repair or replacement. I'm not so sure that this self contained airbrush is actually not much more than a gimmick, but time will tell. Model building teaches patience, so this may need to be drawn upon before two moons have come and gone.

[@richsmith7200]

Old post, but what kind of models do you build? I do mostly military, but have had a hankering to build some cars and trucks, maybe vehicles I've actually owned, plus some fantasy vehicles (Ferrari, Lotus, etc). I've owned 4x4's, a '68 El Camino, SPL311, MG's, etc. I think I'll get one of these for interiors, cockpits, etc. The spray cans obviously don't allow good control of the paint application, especially thickness which can kill details, like panel lines, door jams, and such.

[@HDStencils]

Woke up thinking on a portable compressor, I still think I like that little underpowered thing! I think it could work well connected to a micron. Great review man

[@MOBVC8420]

I can agree that it lacks airflow. It does work well for cake decorating and nails. It is a pain to clean.

[@rfabian10]

[@coachtheh.n.i.c2227]

Im ab beginner with airbrushing and I have that exact same one I really don't have very many complaints except for the battery life. I personally feel that the battery doesn't last long enough when you're in the middle of a project you have to wait for it to fully charge in order to complete. Just off of doing one pair of Retro 13s it took me two days to finish both boat shoes

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Haha yes that would definitely interfere over time especially if you're on a deadline. It also starts to become quite heavy after holding for an extended period, just the ergonomics of it.

Got this as a gift recently from my girlfriend. First time using an airbrush and have gotten some Mr.hobby metallics to spray, but can't get anything else to spray no matter how much thinner I add. I am spraying using acrylics and have tried several paints from Mr.Hobby Aqueous, Tamiya metallics, and citadel base colors. The airbrush sprays thinner and water just fine, as well as airbrush cleaner. But I am wondering how I can get some colors to spray. If anyone has any tips please let me know.

[@friktionrc]

Just an idea, but if it sprays water and thinner fine, have you tried making the paint mix as equally thin …or as close to the viscosity as water/thinner? Then when spraying maybe heat up the surface with a blow dryer or something and then paint the layers on in thin mist layers?

[@kidsmac43]

This really helped thanks! But can you use it while it is charging?

[@chrisphilip]

[@infamusflinch7596]

How did you fade the black into the darker blue? Did you get a darker blue paint or did you mix the two colors in some way? Sorry I’m new to this

[@infamusflinch7596]

Also what should I do to really get started? I bought a AF1 but I’m afraid to start it. Should I practice on paper or knock of AF1’s until I get a nice idea of the airbrush I’m using.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

You can definitely get started practicing on paper, cardboard, anything like that just get a feel for your airbrush. What we use to make the smooth gradient is called the middle bar technique where you take an even mixture of both of your colors and spray that where they meet.. In a way its like creating a 3rd color and adding that in, but what you do after is take both of the original colors and blend those back on top of the new middle bar color you created. We give a breakdown in this video here (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXzYk5ubfdd5a80)

[@SPONGEY7244]

Would this be good to buy as a portable airbrush when you’re working in an outdoor space?

[@sonderstudios6675]

Have you tried changing the nozzle sizes? Maybe some basic troubleshooting will help a bit

[@NguyenLe-xh9zh]

Actually the only thing you are complaining about is the pressure of the airbrush, which is around 15-20 PSI. To scale modelers, this kind of air pressure is preferable to do basic works, with small coverage. For shoes I think it must be around 30 PSI to cover up such large surface.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yup 30 is right around where I keep my airbrush typically.. I can certainly see it working for some smaller scale models

[@patrickwillis13]

I have this same one but a different “brand”. I’m a first time air brusher but the compressor in this kit already seems to not be running at full capacity. The first two times I used it, it was fine. Last night, I made sure it had a full charge and put some water to make sure it would function. It did. I put some primer in (for miniatures) and thinned it with some water. Seemed decent and it was more the first two times I used the brush. I did quick trigger pulls, about 1-2 seconds each. I don’t even get done with the first model, the paints not coming out very well and the compressor is not as loud or vibrating as hard in my hand. The kit only came with a .3 mm needle/cone/tip so I had to make do. I’m looking at getting a different slightly more expensive one with a compressor with wall socket cable. Hopefully the airbrush is somewhat decent. Does have multiple needles as well. I WOULD NOT recommend this airbrush kit

Can anyone help with a recommendation? I want to get a airbrush setup but no clue where to start..

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

I’d go with the badger patriot 105!

Hey Dcf you should try and take that Compressor of and try to use a normal compressor just to see how that performance

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

That would make for a great comparison! It seems like I would need some type of unique adapter but I may look into that more

[@dominickalves7865]

Do you ask for a payment upfront before you even start painting the shoes ?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yes I do!

[@gulick2461]

How do you thin out the paint

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Angelus makes a product called 2thin

[@saiasiluch559]

You probably have to adjust the back piece so the spray can come out better

[@warcannibalmullens1388]

What does it say the PSI is on these guns? And can it be adjusted?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Theres a screw on the back that says will adjust the psi, but based off my test there was little no difference with the tightest and loosest settings

I just started customizing shoes and a bought an airbrush and after the first use when i pull the trigger just for air it comes paint out too what should i do to fix it?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Sounds like your needle isnt pushed all the way forward and locked in.

[@domydestruction]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear thank you i will check it out

[@rdalmasso7326]

For my personal this seems interesting for 2 mains reasons above the price, first I do not have space for a proper airbrushing set up, living in a 40sqm with my gf, and second It seems to be very useful for covering mesh fabric especially, even if the air flow is not that big it would be good enough to get a better finish than using paint brush ?!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yeah any airbrush application will beat paintbrush when it comes to fabrics so you can avoid those clumps and filling in the holes

[@rdalmasso7326]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear a little question Dillon, I've seen some airbrushes with mini compressors, with 25psi for the compressor and a 0.5mm nozzle for the airbrush, the one you review has a 3mm nozzle which brings to maybe too diluted paint to avoid clogging, do you think it would change something 0.5mm nozzle? I've read that 0.5 is more recommended for acrylic paint

[@Joran40]

Sorry, this may be a really dumb question, but can you customize fake leather shoes?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yeah of course, there’s just a lot of disadvantages to it.. the material won’t react the same as regular leather when it comes to prepping or painting

[@Joran40]

@@DeJesusCustomFootwear I'm actually shocked at the fast reply :D. Thanks!

[@Casey-os8fm]

That's for light makeup or cake decorating

[@shaunmoeller3288]

I think this would work for someone like me who lives in an apartment and have no electricity in my garage... I make fishing lures and plan on custom painting some

[@blackwood1431]

Hello! Did you buy this cordless airbrush system, and if you did, can it do a decent job for painting lures? Because that is the same reason why I was looking at this airbrush.

[@pwebb1975]

I was going to cop one of these too
