Airbrush cleaning using LIFE TONE PAINTS ?

[bullwhacker]

I use all Lifetones paints and use hardware store lacquer thinner to clean the brush. I first use a cup of dirty cleaner and I stick the brush in it without the paint cup on and submerge it and hit the air on high to flush it out good. Then I stick a tip of a squeeze bottle into the hole where the cup attaches and flush it with some pressure. Remove the bottle and hit the air again to run it through. Then I stick the tip of the brush in the tip of the bottle and backflush a little, remove and blast that out. That generally gets it real clean. It takes about 20 seconds to clean it between colors once you get it down.

I will have to try that Bullwacker.   Thanks

If the paint is dried in the airbrush, the solvents(lacquer thinner or acetone) will work on both lacquer or water based paint.  I got that info directly from Gene Hallett.....He makes Lifetone paints!

i saw a guy use one color. then he would empty it out when he was done with that color and pore another color in the cup. then spray it on a rag till that color came out. and he didn't clean any of it till he was all done. seem to work.
