About a while back I found a vintage unused Paasche air compressor from the 1990s for $15.00 so I grabbed it. I sat on it and I waited and watched and in the end I got a fantastic deal on a Paasche Talon TG airbrush.

It’s been fantastically fun so far as I love learning from experimenting and just getting in and doing something. The photo is my first attempt at spraying a single coat of paint using an airbrush. I see lots of mistakes but I learned a great deal on how to handle curves and inner surfaces.

Some takeaways:

Make some sort turntable to spin objects as I paint them. Less need to go back and fill in missed spots.

Find a good water-based metal surface primer for airbrushing.

Try and get a full set of nozzles/needles when I can.

Learning is progress.

Learning a hard lesson, I totally fried the controller and likely the LEDS after I bumped the power output switch.

I am having to put this on the back burner until I can afford to get the parts again.

Thanks for your time and please take care of each other.
