so what are some simple effects a beginner could do with a cheap air brush?
its gravity fed no name brush from an auto store.
i have used parma fascolor so far as it is whats available.
how good is the parma liquid mask? also what colors go with purple? i own a MI2 and its annodized purple so i was going to match.
was thinking carbon fibre stripe down the centre with white going into purple for the rear section?
would this be to complicated?
what can i practice on? say laminated plastic?
with flurescents and paints that change colors are there a bad idea? also glitter??
thanks any help would be great ie pressures for compressor (has a mouisture trap) and thinning paint?
