Dual stage for fogging and lateral lines. I use the Bernzy formula for cleaning. Lucky for myself I have a utility sink w/in reach of my airbrush to clean out w/air and hot water. Had the heat gun set up to set the paint. Don't know if necessary but I like the way the paint dries to faciitate a second coat or color overlay. Haven't spun anything inweeks. Prepping the plugs to get ready for paint took all spare time. I have a template made for a GTS-2 & GTS-3. Hope everyone had a good week.
Morning guys! PB......the cleaning mix is a mix of simple green, windex and water......25/25/and 50. I do not heat set my paint......never felt the need so save yourself the step. I try to lay the body of my paint on in stages while still damp with the exception of detail like dots/spots and eye shading. Be careful when building layers because if you get too heavy the air pressure will "blow out" your paint and ruin it. Just offering a little help. When we gonna see some pics???

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
