I know some people do it, my question is how. I'm using parma liquid mask, what do I use thin it out with in order to spray it on? Are people using airbrushes, or spray bottles?

Thanks!

I use Bob Dively's liquid mask shot through an HLVP touch up gun using a 1.5MM needle/nozzle. I do not thin the liquid mask. I can get away with (2) heavy coats and it's perfect. I love how smooth it turns out as opposed to brushing. Using a heat gun, I can have (2) coats ready to cut in 90 min. Here are a couple links...

The HLVP gun I use

The bodies I've done using this gun

Hope that helps.

Agree with all the replies so far. I went to spraying when I did a couple large scale bodies that did not come with overspray film. I wanted to draw up the designs with sharpie without risk of leaving marks on the finish. Un-thinned Bob Dively shot through a $15 Harbor Freight HVLP gun.

I tried spraying BD on the last body I did and it was great! I used my ab with a .8 tip and just thinned the lm by about 20% with water. I put 4 coats on and heat dried between coats.

Spraying it made it so much easier to cut straight lines and steady curves compared to having brush strokes.

My airbrush worked fine for it. I did clean it out in the sink between coats to make sure the lm wouldn't dry in it and I had to wait for the body to dry any way.

I got a HVLP cheap gun from Harbor frieght, best 14$ dollars I spent. I am in no way a pro painter but I would get 13 bodys out of a bottle brushing it on now with the sprayer I am over 16 with more left. I do thin it out with water too about 30%.
