To Air Is Human

My review of the Infinity airbrush is still pending, but I just had to share my experience.

Someone told me that I could put AutoAir paint through the Infinity without reducing. They didn't suggest that I shouldn't reduce, just that the Infintity works so well, that heavy, unthinned AutoAir will work...

well not for me! I fought and fought to spray AutoAir...I thinned it...I thinned it some more. Oh I got it to spray...but not very well. And eventually I got so frustrated I had to stop and put this stupid airbrush away!

And while I was unpacking my Iwata Eclipse (to finish the painting) I came across the extra tip and needle that comes with the Infinity. You know...the .04 needle and tip (that would handle the AutoAir)

Aaaahhh...I see.....
in the airbrush is still the .015 tip,
the very fine tip,
the tip for inks, gouache and fine watercolour.
NOT THE TIP FOR HEAVY AUTOAIR!!

So, I don't have a review for this airbrush yet but I am impressed that it DID actually spray the AutoAir with the FINE tip in place.

and our lesson today is:
make sure you know what you are working with
(like knowing what tip and needle size you have in your airbrush!)!
