I'm a mixed media artist, who was given an airbrush and compressor almost a decade ago--birthday gift. Through years of trial-and-error, I struggled. Always using water-based paints. I did three large automotive projects (all with HOK) and LOVED MY RESULTS! So did my clients. I had loads of people contacting me to do motorcycle helmets and tanks but I turned down the business because I was afraid of my capabilities and experiences with water-based paints. I thought I had merely been lucky, or the humidity was just right, or all the planets were in alignment when I did the automotive projects. I gave up on myself and NEVER figured out the correlation between the urethane and the ease of the projects. Once I returned to water-based paints... clogs, tip dry, etc.... started back up again. I burnt out trying to make the kind of art I always wanted to make with an airbrush. Mine is the fine detail brush used in this video, by the way. Today, with much trepidation, I worked up the nerve to get back to work with my airbrush. A skull project, as well! THIS IS THE VIDEO I NEEDED 10 YEARS AGO!!! This video was literally waiting for me when I opened up my KZread page! As if, the airbrush gods knew I was logging in to go back to school. My friend... your skillset is obviously brilliant! The information you shared within this video has got me completely jacked and ready to start spraying again! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For every single priceless tidbit of information, you shared with us in this production. I could not be happier that I found this video! I gave you a thumbs up! And subscribed! You are now my ultimate go-to guy, for all my airbrushing needs. This one video is like a crash course in getting it right and KILLING all that downtime with water-based paints. I just moved to a beachfront community. There are NO airbrush artists for at least 50 miles in any direction. I've looked. I have already been asked to spray. Now, I can fill those orders and do some things I have always wanted to do. You changed things for me with this video. I can't express that enough. Thank you

This is one hell of a tutorial. You rock Robbie!🤙

I’ve watch so many videos. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you breaking down the ratios you’re mixing, the airbrushes you use, the paint you use, the texts you put on the screen to help me write it down. I ran into spiderwebbing black paint and didn’t have a clue what may have been the problem. I subscribed. Hopefully this will help me get better at finer details.

I been at this for 40 years now. You do a good video and nice work.

Thanks Robbie. Very informative. Rekindling my airbrush love and I am using this tutorial as my injection. Much appreciated.

You do such a great job! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Keep up the great work.

You make it look so easy , I wish I could do what you do but I know it wouldn’t even come close . You are a true master at your craft and a pleasure to watch your informative video , great work 👍

Very good video. I'm just getting started and I so appreciate the help I can get from tutorials like this. Wonderful job.

I'm a bodypaint artist and now getting into automotive painting.. your instructional video has helped me alot. It really helped my skill set.

Fine Job. Thanks for all the advice. I bought an expensive brush to do surface repair on hot-tubs. Searching KZread for guys like you before I jump in. I believe a monster has been created. Thanks a lot man.

I think I've learnt more from this than the last 10 airbrushing videos I watched. Thanks for sharing 💪👍

Absolutely Awesome, I enjoyed watching this video immensely, you are a very talented airbrush artist.

I would love to see more tutorials from this guy. Super informative.

Great man!

Excelente ! Top

TOP Video very nice work

i understand what you saying about the reducer i have order 2 oz of paint from guys that already got it ready for the airbrush to paint my lures perfect color

Man that is awesome! I’m just starting out and using the same Iwata, can you recommend any instructional books or videos that explain how to use stencils the correct way. I tried understanding how and why you were using the stencil and at what stage but it’s still a little confusing to me. Thanks for the tutorial it really is amazing to me.

Great Job Mr. Kass! Keep up the good work. I'm trying to learn multi layer stencils and I don't have photoshop, so it's giving me grief trying to figure out how to do it using Clip Studio Paint (formerly Manga Studio).

So sick!!

Nice Job Brother, thanks for sharing your knowledge

You are Bad ass!!! Well done

God your good wish I could have 10% of your talent I’m just starting to learn great tutorial videos thanks

I was working with Wicked colors before i made the switch to HOK. Like i mentioned in the video i prefer urethane based paints over water based because they mix and clean more easily and dry faster since i like to thin my paints so much. When i was using them i would reduce with rubbing alcohol because it acts as a fast reducer. But overall i don’t dislike that product line. It’s all a matter of personal preference. I always recommend trying different things for yourself to discover what you like best.

How would you do a blue skull on white gas tank?

Wow

Looking to do this to my tank. What would you recommend to clear coat it with on a motorcycle?

Either real clear coat from a paint gun or SprayMax 2K

Miss you Brother..

"even if you work with waterbased paint" sorry to interrupt but it is "ESPECIALLY if you use water based paint" the thing is in your loung the water based paint does not dry up like thinner based paint. while both paints do permanent damage to your loung the water based paint causes more damage over time. so always use your masks :D also AWESOME tutorial

How much Airbrush reducer/extender should I put in my sprayer.. Plus I put tephalon tape on all threads n I seem to still get water coming out of my nozzle.. What better tips can I use to stop this from happening?

I'm assuming you're referring to an airbrush and not an HVLP "sprayer". If so they make water filers that screw on the bottom of your airbrush, but if you're working in a high humidity environment sometimes if you airbrushing for extended periods of time this can still become problematic especially when using urethane based paints as they do not mix with water. I have found a method that typically works well for me hen this happens. I have my compressor hooked up to a split line device for using multiple airbrushes off the same line. I'd suggest purchasing an air hose splitter and bleed one of the lines just a hair to prevent moisture from accumulating over time. You might have to increase the pressure on your compressor to compensate for the small leak but it's worked well for me and has likely saved me from many costly mistakes.
