I want to pickup the hobby again after a 30+ year hiatus.
I finally bought a spray booth today. I bought an Iwata Eclipse airbrush and Iwata Sprint Jet compressor years ago but never used it because I didn't have the spray booth. A couple of questions:
What PSI should I use?
Do you set the pressure regulator with the airbrush trigger pulled or closed?
I have mostly enamel paints, should I get acrylic to run through the airbrush?
Do you clean the airbrush with mineral spirits, water, or paint thinner?
What should the ratio be to thin paint in order to run through the airbrush? For example Testers Flat Black enamel. What is used to thin, water for acrylic and paint thinner for enamel.
Thanks.
Here is the new airbrush stuff
