I dump the excess back into the paint bottle. Then I grab a Que-tip and mechanically stir up the pain to make sure i is dissolved in water. I dump that out and refile with fresh water and spray a bit then back pressure the nozzle then spray back pressure then spray. Dump the water and then clean water and repeat the spray and back pressure routine. Lastly I spray out what ever water is still in the cup and on to the next color. all that takes less than a minuet. I probably should do a video on that too.

Excellent tip. Wasted a lot of time spraying out old paint before we saw this.

I use a coffee can as a waist can for airbrush blowout, and small water only squeeze bottle. And do to a T what you do. No clogs from this method. Also after final cleaning after painting is all done on my lures. I keep all my airbrush parts apart and soak in a sealed Tupperware-container with a 50/50 mix of water and windex

You can use a spray bottle as well with just water. One thing i seen missed, after washing and blow back rinse again and use a papertowl or soft cotton rag and clean out bowl before spraying through. I can change colors in less than 30 seconds usually. Another thing that helps is start with light colors and go to dark colors when possible.

Glad I've basically been doing it right. I've just been taking the whole thing to the sink, washing out the reservoir, and then running water through the top as I spray until it goes clean.

Yes, I’ve wondered which way is the most convenient and efficient way to clear the brush and to clean the brush.

[jasminemunoz]

I have a wuestion what paint do you use ? Also do you spray indoors if so how do you mask the smell of paint and paint fumes

[garrisonh]

I have apparently been do this correctly, thanks!

[BassinWithBigMalone]

I'll do the same thing. I just use a old gallon jug with the top cut off at a angle to keep the handle on the side. Works well 💪

Looking for my first airbrush. I’m torn between the iwata eclipse for 170$ or the Harder and strenbeck evolution. I’m going to be painting fabric/ clothes and need high detail and broad coverage and fast color swapping is a must. What would you guys recommend I get?

[MaxwellSmart]

That looks like it works great for acrylic paint, what would you recommend for a lacquer paint? To use that much lacquer and put up with the odors

I use an old coffee can filled with water and submerge the airbrush. Backflow a couple times then spray. Only issue is having to refill fresh water after every session
