Hi Shani,
Another great video! I’m am new to the airbrush scene and have been reading a lots of information from all sorts of site. So I just wanted to offer a suggestion in regards to cleaning #5. At one of the site I frequent I have read several AB’rs that swear that after cleaning their brush xtra good and it still has problems to disassemble the airbrush completely and soak it in Createx Airbrush Restorer. They say its amazing how much more paint comes out after soaking it in this solution.
Anyway – that’s my ‘pay it forward’ tip. Again, great video…. keep them coming.
PS – check your camera and make sure it is set to auto focus

Thanks David …. I’ll have to give that restorer stuff a try! Sounds great! As for the focus, me and my camera hate each other – it’s totally mutual so I don’t feel to bad about it

I bought a pack of 5 different size tiny airbrush cleaning brushes. I noticed you did not use anything like this. Did I buy something that is meant for air guns? It says airbrush cleaning brushes right on the package. Made by CENTRAL PNEUMATIC. May-be they are especially for the $15 airbrush made by the same company. I bought them at Harbor Freight. I figured I would start with a cheap airbrush until I knew what good airbrush I should get.

I am so glad you are here. I took my airbrush apart because it wasn’t working right and it was dirty from an unsuccessful painting of my hat and I couldn’t figure out how to get the trigger button put back together. With the help of your video and another on You Tube I got it done. My hat may not be fit for public but I will hold on to it for painting the inside of the house.
