Hey all! Glad to have found this site. I'm sure I will find some great advice on here!! Here is some info about me. I am an auto body painter in a local Honda dealership. Using solvent based paints still. I have been spraying cars for about 15 years now. In the past few years I found a love of art, drawing and painting. I took a beginner art class at Penn State University a few years ago and loved it ever since. I have very little drawing experience and don't consider myself good but do enjoy it. I also race two stroke go karts for fun. I am currently looking into trying my hand at some airbrushing as I like to do helmets for karting and such. Here are a few questions I have for everyone. I have picked up some good books at the library to do some research and get some ideas on a setup.
Things I have... things I want... and things anyone can add??
I currently have a big two stage compressor with water traps, regulators, and a small air dryer with desiccant. I can turn it down easily for airbrushing.
I have access to every solvent based PPG product you would need as I have a mixing bank with all the tints, reducers, sealers, primers, and clears..... what is everyone's opinion on using solvent based PPG paints for airbrushing??
I have a nice bright area with ventilation for spraying.
I own a bunch of Iwata and Sata guns for work, and would like a good Iwata airbrush. I have been looking at the Iwata Eclipse HP-SBS ECL 3550. I like the idea of the cup on the side for a better visual on the work, and I am ambidextrous so that may help.
Any opinions on this brush and using the automotive paint?? Thanks so much!!! Colin.
