Painting Supplies. Materials, Tools

[ProjektONE]

I apologize if this has been covered already. I used the search but was unable to find what I was looking for.

I am looking to get into paying details, adding depth with washers, weathering etc.. I am looking to purchase the necessary brushes, masking tape and any other items needed to essentially get started as well as have the tools to do the job correctly. If there are any tools, tapes (specific brands) or any items you think I would need please let me know.

I don't mind spending a bit of money for good tools. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I used to do a lot of Airbrush stuff and I like Coast Airbrush or Midwest AIrbrush supply. Lots of supplies, from luminecent paint, to pinstriping, to airbrushes and paints, solvent and waterbased with and a slew of available stencils, tapes, and masking supplies. Theya lso have Coast AIrbrush TV that has pay for videos, but a lot of free ones too. Great place to get base info on compatibility, material use and application as well as how too's.

I did these a while back:

As mentioned Midway great source, this is a great, and reasonably priced kit.

Comes with 3 tips, simple to use, works very well. Just clean after each color and use. Not necessary to disassemble after use.

Run thinner I prefer lacquer until clean. Key areas to pay attention to, the siphon tube where the paint bottle attaches, and the spray nozzle.

The nozzle, once the brush is spraying clean clear thinner. Look at the tip, with an acid brush, weted with thinner. Dap the area until clean. Paint likes to hang in there even when the brush has been cleaned.

Finally run soppy water as the last rinse .

Air brush is a great paint tool, bring out the detail, not hiding them.

It cracks me up to see flamed jobs on slow cars, oxymoron LMAO
