Good tips. I face that problem ... And I always thought is because my Paint is starting to dry inside my AB!! So i have to RUsh Airbrush everything in the shortest time i can. end up spoiling my whole model.. especially when it splashes water.

So we should let d compressor to cool down once in a while? if i do that often.. Will the paint that I pour into the AB dry up fast and clog d Ab head? I have not been using my Ab for 2 years..

Mayb want to buy a new AB. my old AB was given by a graphic friend. which is quite old..and im not sure if it is still in good order or not.. since i never touch a New one b4.

try to plan before you AB..usually one session of 15 min like that..just finish the whole color is your gun cup..then after it finish spray normal thinner just to clean the inside gun and to prevent clog. dont rush when AB..not only you will ruin your precious model..but also wasting the color..get those small air tight empty bottle..to store your extra color for next time..

mr hobby empty bottle is insane to buy as it cause rm12 just for that stupid empty bottle..

im thinking to buy a new AB. my previous old ab is given by sm1 else. quite old n not sure ..it stil work properly or not.. like a bit broken.. that one is OLYMPOS hp100b.

Now im looking for a new potential AB..double action. I saw one tat is selling for rm 120 only at an Art shop. But i never see this brand b4. i wonder can i buy that? is double action. Can anyone recommend some good n trusted AB?

want cheap..get at least Sparmax brand..
dont go for some really really unknown brand
or at least rm200 and above for the ab gun

Okey.. i'll be searching around first. do you have any place to recommend that i can go for AB hunt?

i must say i recommend venus art at petaling street

Nvr been there b4. I don even know how to get to petaling street from here. i in bukit bintang

Here's a map of the Petaling Street area.

Marked two locations there. These are the APPROXIMATE location of Venus Art and Nanyang.

And while you're there. Also check out the best wantan mee in KL, in the alley next to the food court.

Wow.. goood map. thanks. So is just along petaling street.. where they sell all those cheap nike shoes, vcd dvd etc? only been there twice since came to kl. Anyway, if i happen to go there i can pay a visit to wat u say as best wantan mee in kl. he he.. but wat name is d stall call?

The cheap nike shoes, is right on petaling street itself, the two roads highlighted pink.

Venus is a groundfloor store along that road. Nanyang will be 'outside' petaling street already.

The wantan mee stall has no name. It's not in the foodcourt. In the alley next to it. The last stall in the alley. The cook is an auntie.

Eat there so often, I just sit down, and the auntie knows what I want

Sounds fun. i'll print this out next time i got the chance to go there. But I cant remember how can i get there by bus. i stay near bukit bintang.. is there a bus that get to petaling street? Might get lost alone.. ha ha

I remember that you can actually get on a LRT and stop somewhere near Petaling Street and walk straight to Venus Art. I forgot what is the name of the station but it is only like 5mins walk from Venus. That is how i actually bought my compressor.

Star LRT from the station next to the Pudu Jail.
Stop at Plaza Rakyat station.
Walk to Petaling St.

may i know how much a mini compressor can cost? where i can i get it around PJ or KL area? i wan cheap and good one, haha. if anyone know pls let me know.

im just bought Badger air brush pen. hehe. hopefully a mini compressor wont be too expensive. and prefer more quiet one, hehe, so can spray at night. thanks

I bought my mini compressor from Tamiya.. around rm 400-500+ i think. Come with water trap and Pressure gauge. Quite noisy. Especially when it vibarting against the table. Not sure this is a good one or not.. since that time i have no idea where to get cheap compressor

Tamiya brand compressor? when u bought it ah? just wondering wat is the current market price for a compressor

if noisy then not suitable lo, i stay at condo, normally do spraying outside my unit, and normally at night, later neighbour kill me..........

wow.. bringing ur compressor everything to corridor to spray ah.. very inconvenient oh.. Spray near windows la. i bought it 2 years ago. but only use a few times. There are times when my airbrush start splashing water. Im not sure is d airbrush problem.. or d compressor problem. Some people told me is d compressor overheat.

I think if u wan cheaper 1 definately shouldnt buy from tamiya. Those Artshop like nanyang, venus or Winsart (PJ) should be selling much cheaper.

thanks, may i know the exact location of those shop u mentioned? thanks.

now im using a pressure bottle, just plug it to airbrush, same function as compressor, just tat the pressure inside the bottle can finish, and the bottle not cheap, so not economical. tats why looking for a compressor.

i think if got water, is the compressor overheat problem, i also not sure, need to ask those hardware shop ppl.

Scroll Up.. and u'll see d map.. I also never been to Venus or nanyang b4.. Thats why I also ask for the location Will find one day to go petaling street.. I need to buy airbrush.. I think my airbrush is not in good order... cause is and old airbrush given by my friend's bro. Any airbrush to recommend?
