Need Air Brush instructions

[Buncrana]

I saw a link on a thread here a while back and for the life of me I can not find it. It was a link to a site that had many pages of air brusg tutorials. I would appreciate it if someone could point it out to me. Also, what do you guys use to clean your air brush parts?

I guess that depends on what yer sprayin. If it's waterbased I just use hot water. etc..

For the water based paints like Parma Faskolor, I use Windshield washer fluid. Works great... For the Lacquer based paints, I use Denatured alcohol..

THANK YOU TJ!!!! All this time I had been using lacquer thinner to clean my lacquer paints. And that stuff smells like hell in the house. If denatured alco will work, that's a ton easier on the senses!!!!

I've found that DA works good for me... I usually have a paint jar full, waiting close by. After shooting a coat, I just switch to the DA, & flush out the gun..
Backwashing the gun gets most of the crap free.. Simply put your finger firmly over the nozzle, & give a few quick taps on the trigger. You'll see the paint debris shoot back in the DA jar... WARNING Be careful, shoot away from the eyes when doing this...
After a shoot, I pull apart my gun, & clean up the needle & nozzle with some DA..
