GEORGE SAYS…

Having grasped the fact that airbrushing demands a different – and more patient – approach compared to using aerosols, Chris did a great job of painting Prince. Adopting a regular routine of flushing the airbrush with a cleaning fluid at regular intervals during painting prevents the tool from clogging up. After each session, a more thorough clean, involving careful removal of the needle, will dislodge any paint deposits within the tool. A drop of airbrush lubricant onto the needle before re-fitting keeps everything in good condition and ready for use next time.

For best results, use the same brand of paints and thinners, combining both in a glass mixing jar before loading the airbrush. The paint needs to be about the same viscosity as milk.

A drop of lubricant on the needle and trigger keeps the internal components working effectively.

Airbrush cleaning and maintenance sets are available to keep your tool in tip-top condition.
