Also, the photo doesn’t do it justice, but the result looks amazing, it’s very smooth and shiny. I’ll still try the Amsterdam ink for comparison, and maybe also applying sanding sealer or a primer first, but I’ll have to figure out which is appropriate. Advice welcome.

So now I’m in an airbrushing rabbit hole: do I work with the gas bottles? Do I buy a cheap compressor from AliExpress? But I already have a battery-powered handheld compressor. Do I get a small tank I can fill with it? Does that even exist? I’ll need adapters. Do I continue with the diluted acrylic lacquer or do I try Amsterdam acrylic inks?

I hate my brain sometimes. Is that typical of ADHD oe something?

The airbrush works with a gas can, the one I have is not new, and I don’t have experience with how much to dilute the paint, so when it didn’t work it was hard to know why. I finally managed to make it work for a short time enough times to get a nice result.

I borrowed the compressor of a makeup airbrush to try and replace the gas can, but it’s apparently not powerful enough to get the paint (or even water) up from the bottle to the nozzle. >>

My brain is annoying sometimes. I’m making a music player for my daughters, and I want to paint it. With a brush it’s annoying because of all the holes of the speaker grills, and I stuck at spray painting.

But I have an airbrush my father bought for model planes decades ago, so I watch a few videos for beginners and make some tests with acrylic lacquer I have at home. >>
