evening paintjob tip!
hey everyone, just put my Airbrush to use with all the new painting equipment i got. i masked up my eclipse convertible and sprayed it up silver. now i noticed that on one side i put too much paint so i was losing some of the details like the doorhandles. so what i did was after it all dried (ONLY DO AFTER DRIED) i used some nail polish remover in the overdone spot, put some on and it pretty much ate thru the paint where i wanted it to. then i used an index card, and cut a hole the shape/size of the area that i just removed paint from. i put that over the whole and started respraying. that way i dont overspray any of the other parts of the car. hope it helps ya'll so u dont have to respray the whole car!

definitely a good tip. I was mixing my pait/thinner 4 paint 1 thinner. I fooled with it and found the best ratio is 4 paint 2 thinner.
I basically fill the stem of a pippette. thats how I mesure. That ratio seems to dry SUPER quick and not puddle unless you hold it one spot way too long. Even coverage and shiny coat.
