Be sure that you have a regulator and stay within the max pressure recommended by the airbrush.

Kate,
What airbrushes do you have? What are the features? Do I want double or single action? Which brand is the Cadillac?
Thanks

I have:
badger
paasche
iwata
My opinon?
I love my paasche an iwata.
My suggestion?
the iwata eclipse. That's "my cadillac" or so I call it that. I only use it for the "really good stuff".
their website: www.iwata-medea.com
But like I said that's my opinion. A single action paasche would suit your needs. Personally I don't like badgers. I just never have and rarely touch mine.
As for features? I think you'll find what you need in the iwata "eclipse". (make sure it's the high performance series) You'll be using more "liquid" than the little cup on the top holds.
Glad to help with any other questions you may have.

Thank you. Does the iwata eclipse handle "thicker" products? I'm primarily going to be using it for Cermarc.
I know I could brush the Cermarc on but I hear you get a better coat when spraying.....
Thank

Rodney
you said in your post.
" Most problematic for us is the fact that the
coating often doesnt adhere well and air assist actually blows it off
- thus we dont use it when "cerdecing""
In talking with the Cerdec (aka CerMark) folks there is a product on
the market that is formulated to correct this issue. I have had the
same problem on high polish Stainless Steel boat parts. Dave Smith
of CerMark suggested the use of product LMC 6038. It contains
Ox Gaul (sp) which causes it to stick bettere to slick surfaces.

I don't know anything about airbrushing, but after reading this thread I saw the following auction on the local online auction in my area and thought I'd post for all to see. The seller won't ship, but if any of you want to bid I'd be willing to pick it up and ship it for you if you are the winning bidder and would just pay me for the postage.

Laura,
I just checked and it looks like I could get it for $50 plus about $10 shipping.
I don't NEED an airbrush, but it seems cheap to start a new hobby or use to touch up the scratches on my car... lol
How could/would we pay you? Do you take credit cards (I would add a few $$ to cover your processing charges)?
Thanks for the great offer!

If you are high bidder you can pay me via PayPal. I think my processing charge is 3% of the total + $0.30. Or you could mail a check. I wonder if it would fit in the Flat Rate Priorty Mail boxes from the post office? That would only be $7.70 to ship plus insurance/tracking if you want it.
We can figure something out. :)

Chuck,
This is an old thread but did you ever do anything with the airbrush and Cermark? I am curious as I just got an airbrush and some of theCermark colors for glass/tile and the metal marking one. I also got a number of bottles to keep each color in, hoping that I can keep cleanup to a minimum. I undertand they have a very long shelf-life and only may require thining. I haven't had time yet to test my theories, I just got the stuff last month.

JIm,
I did in fact get an airbrush, but have not tried it with the cermark. I ordered the cermark in bulk but didn't get around to using it.
Sorry I cannot help. :-(

No nothing specific, I just wanted to see if the airbrush technique worked and see who had experience with the medium. I had been through two spray cans that had clogged with more than half remaining and was reluctant to get back and try it again. The bulk material and airbrush seemed the best way to go. I purchased some of the colors too and my plan was to leave each in its own bottle and then just clean the brush itself. A lot of the things I've done have been onesies or just a couple and the expense of the product plus the clean-up that would be required with an airbrush concerned me. Glad to know someone is using it successfully!
Jim
