Has anyone ever used camera ready cosmetics airbrush makeup with this gun? My gun has a 0.3mm tip and the CRC airbrush makeup gets clogged in the tip.

I do, my gun doesn't get clogged but I did have to pull the needle back some when I started using CRC.

This is a .4mm tip and should be able to handle any airbrush formula. Just don't mix the formulas-you'll end up with a cement like residue in your gun. The stylus Temptu sells for their silicone formula is a 3.5mm.

Mine clogs, but I have found if you take the end of the gun off and clean it out every other time you should not have a problem. But you do need to clean it out otherwise you will eventually ruin the gun.

My rifles came from Walmart shipped directly to my home. No cosmoline on either, just a very light coating of gun oil. Don't use copper brushes just a good stiff synthetic. Make sure you get all of the lubricant out of the tube. If not you are going to be surprised with the bang you will get. I did not clean my .177 as thoroughly as I should have and the first pellet sounded like a ma duce going off. Keep them all in the X ring. Semper Fi Molon Labe CHS USMCL

Good question regular cosmetics may lead to clogging "airbrush" makeup is thinner/lighter than regular cosmetics with high pigment for coverage. If you reduce regular make-up you will lose pigment so you could if you wanted but may not have the best results

No, you cannot use your own makeup. You need to use either the Luminess makeup or another water soluble airbrush brand that is compatible with the unit.

Sounds like the paint is drying and holding the tip on. The tip should be finger tight. And once you use it then you should loosen the tip before it dries or leave the tip off until the next use. Also if it is difficult to remove I always use a cloth on the tip with a pair of pliers. But I always clean the gun really good so I don't have these problems when I go to use it again. I like this gun and have used it twice with great success. Hope this helps.

The orange tip on mine just screwed out. It will get a little bunged up taking it out, so if you don't plan on putting it back on at any time then you are good to go. I however strongly suggest against taking the orange tip out. It is hard to distinguish the real Desert Eagle from the Airsoft one, once you take the tip out. Even in you are using it in your backyard, one phone call from a neighbor, or someone visiting a neighbor, and the police are not going to be so happy about your removing that. Remove at your own risk.

This is same as B3 - I highly recommend it. I spray painted mine with bedliner paint and put a red dot with a riser. Also you can polish the trigger sear - this gun is by far my most accurate gun ever. I returned the Winchester I posted about above because this was just much more easier/accurate to shoot.

The two guns I used it on had flat black finishes also. The rifle had light marks from what I'd call normal use. The pistol had a couple very bad scratches on the slide. I use my guns, their not closet queens. I pleased with the results.

Picky Mom,Yes.The magazine does not function like a typical magazine would. The magazine houses Alan keys to adjust air flow and enable the gun to be taken apart for cleaning/rebuilding. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions aboutthis gun. I like this, it was my first paintball gun, i upgraded it with the mechanical trigger and cyclone feeder. Easy to take apart and rebuild, just like the Tippman 98.

I had a problem with 223 cases. The plastic feed piece had a little excess flash that partially obstructed the priming piston. It was just enough to turn the small primers sideways. I shaved the excess and the problem went away.

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

We found that the tips have to be completely inline w one another. We used semi gloss exterior paint and found that if we kept constant pressure on the trigger it wouldn't clog. Once you get used to it. It really works great.

Hi Hugo , thank yo for your inquiry , it is against the law to remove the orange tip and it will also void any warranty the the gun may have !thanksPhil

I had the same issue. Make sure the piece that covers the nozzle is on snug and all connections are snug ( no air seeping out of the hose extension) . The solution that comes with the gun is terrible. You won't get a good spray with that solution! I had to order Norvell Venetian however I use Lavish Tan organic solution now.

I have this gun and love it. I etch small glass for beer flight paddles. I'm using this gun everyday without any trouble. Two things that I have not experienced yet are the clogging problem and the adaptor fitting problem. I use an air compress from Harbor Freight and the connectors were the same. The compressor is a small hobby type compressor that comes with a cheap air brush and ran about $80.

Not with the airbrush tip that comes with the system. You would need a different brush that could handle the consistency of the makeup.

When this happens, I usually take apart my airbrush and clean the needle. Just unscrew the back, remove the gold screw and pull it out. Be careful not to lose the piece that goes behind the trigger because that is what holds it in. While the needle is out I usually drop some solvent in the makeup compartment and clean it out the best I can with a q-tip. You can also unscrew the front piece (where the makeup comes out) to make sure that is clean. Worst case scenario, they sell the needles individually online. It isn't hard to take apart, clean, then put back together; just don't do it next to an open drain. ;) When this happens, I usually take apart my airbrush and clean the needle.
