Can you paint large areas with an airbrush? Specifically, a guitar body. I am not actually going to paint the entire body but a large area of it.

you may be able to, I never tried using the jar to see on how big of an area it can spray. the sprayer with the 'cup' on top does not spray that big of an area

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

Why would you want to? If you want less pressure, I suggest just moving back away from the target some. I have never stripped paint off anything I did not want to at full power. Different tips work as noted previously.

I have only used paint thus far, but I believe you could if you used a smaller tip. I plan to do it in the future.

I would give it a go at painting a car but make sure to use a LPHV paint gun... Like any other compressor make sure to use filters on the air line water will kill your paint job.

Would not spray on any paint, unless needed. Check a small area first to see what happens before doing so. Usually there is no paint on brake parts to be concerned with. Thanks for asking, Elizabeth.

While you can use a regular compressor, that is not an ideal setup. First of all, most regulators on bigger compressors do not have the capability to make the smaller adjustments necessary for airbrushing. Secondly, you will absolutely need a moisture trap. Thirdly, a regular compressor is going to be a lot noisier ad present location problems. And finally, adapting from airbrush fittings to a standard compressor fitting would be a challenge. You will be better off to buy a compressor built specifically for airbrushing.

Hello, yes this is a good all around airbrush, however if you are going to be spraying large areas I would suggest using spray cans ,rollers, and paintbrushes to complete your base coats . Then follow up with the airbrush to do the finer details and fades . If you are going to do large fades I would suggest a mini spray gun like the iwata lph80, or anything similar to that. This will definitely make it much quicker.

If you have a lot of matter to remove, then Goof off is great. I'd probably still wipe the surface with alcohol or mineral spirits before painting. (I have not tried to paint a surface directly after using Goof Off). Good luck, and please post with your findings if you paint immediately after using Goof Off. Just curious.

Hmmmm....I am not exactly sure why someone would say that a paint brush cannot be used, unless they were perhaps talking about a specific application. You should be able to use a brush with no problems really. In fact, there are artists that use these to paint on wood, canvas, and other media that is even beyond my understanding. I have even heard of others mixing these with water color paints to create numerous paint technique variations as well as unique finishes. I really apologize for any confusion, but I am sure someone may have been referring to a more specific topic.Hope that helps out....Keda Dyes IncThank you for your interest Hmmmm....I am not exactly sure why someone would say that a paint brush cannot be used, unless they were perhaps talking about a specific application.

Myself, I'd use a separate area to do all my sanding then use a good vacuum to clean the area up. I wouldn't want to get fine dust particles in my painting area. If you didn't get it all up then when you start spraying, the pressure from your gun may kick up dust you missed and get it all over your new paint job. A paint booth is just that. A place to spray paint and not to do any sanding.

It has a special coating. Normal paint wouldn't do the job. If you try then practice on the inside maybe first.

Sorry, I sent it back since I wanted something to blow out parts, etc.; however, that said, from what I saw of the item, it was well made and perfectly suited for the purpose of using with paint, solvents, so I would say it would probably work painting small areas.

You should be able to. As with all paint projects, you're going to have to do the necessary preparation(sanding/cleaning) of the parts your are going to paint.

I personally didn't do anything like that. All I did was paint directly on my area. Then I used the texture patches provided and used the heat transfer method to dry the paint spot with the texture pattern. Hope this helps.

You can use it for automotive paints and pretty much anything that you can spray provided you clean it properly and a stencil, although having nothing to do with an airbrush, can be used with any paint, ink or varnish. Hope that helps you, It's a very sturdy yet delicate tool.
