Well I did a test with my standard gravity feed gun and it sprays just fine for simple colors and lines. I won't be painting any murals with it but don't have those skills anyway. I got one color down on my new Vrolet and once I finish it I will post the results.

psk560, I use createx airbrush paint. It is foam friendly and very easy to spray, no thinning, water cleanup and fairly cheap. You can buy it from the Hobby Lobby craft store (not the Hobby Lobby in Brentwood, TN)

Jeff,

I've used some createx from hobby lobby too. It doesn't stick too well to the blue fan fold. Are you using the "auto air" createx or the stuff they spray on cloth?

Different Craig here,
I use the Tamiya paints. The Hobby Lobby here doesn't have the Createx paints.

I will also be in Jacksonville next weekend.

Latest out of the paint shop. I did this one for a buddy. It's after his Carden that was built by DSP named "Bling".

You might want to look around Hobby Lobby a bit more. My local store has Createx in the Art supplies dept and not with the Craft supplies. You might think they keep all the paint in the same spot but thats not the case at least here.

Yup.... the Createx products aren't even on a paint aisle at my local Hobby Lobby. They're about 2 rows over from paints, and 1 row over from the airbrush case....

Great looking airplane Craig!

I got a new compressor for Christmas/Birthday this year, so I guess I need to get to it and cut out something to shoot some paint at.......

The pink is Createx. I finally found it in a different aisle. They where on sale for 1.99.

Matchless,
You going to be at E-Fest. If so I will try to meet you.
