Default Faskolor airbrush

I've had a loan of a faskolor F1 airbrush.

It turns out to be a really nice brush, it sprays fine or wide just by removing a bezel on the tip and is really easy to purge all the gooey fastkolor paint out of it.

This was what I painted.

Will look good with white, yellow or orange wheels. I picked up a tip on cutting shells last year, a few northerners were using a dremmel with a sanding wheel. At first I scoffed at the idea but it works great!

Yeh, that is my car on my screen, she sits a lot lower than that now tho

How did the faskolor paint do going through the brush?
No clogging or anything? and does it still look a bit rough when you try to do fine lines?

Faskolor is always clogging my badger.

I was able to use the paint a little thicker than normal without any worry about it blocking. I did find that when doing a lot of fine lines that the paint would start to dry on the end of the needle, it would then start to splatter a little, this is rectified but dragging your finger nail over the end of the needle (which is totally exposed when in fine line setup) and then a quick flick of the brush to full blast and you away again.

I especially like the way you can just load the Faskolor bottle straight onto the airbrush.

I'm just using a Faskolor airbrush & Faskolor paints, but having a bit of trouble getting it to fine line. Is it just turning the end bit round or completely removing it? What air pressure are you using?

Id say remove the tip flare, itll allow a finer set up possibly, and allow access to the needle tip. As for pressure i shoot faskolor at 12 to 15 psi and it works fine through my Iwata and Aztek, hope that maybe helps a little.

I remove the end piece completely.

I run at 40psi and thin the paint a little with a IPA/H2O mix about a cap full per bottle should suffice.

isopropanol alcohol = IPA

I use halfords clear laquer, faskoat is a good sealer but a pain to spray as it's so thick.
