Best airbrush for lure painting? 

Specifically with this paint.

These are kinda a pain to shoot . They look amazing though. Iā€™ve had the best success shooting them through an iwata revolution. I usually filter the paint really good. I also use a reducer to thin them out a bit .

I would think clean up is pretty involved too. Iā€™ve tried to keep it simpler and used only water-based stuff. Like the results I get with that for color and an epoxy too coat for gloss and durability.

Cleanup is always involved. I try to get everything perfectly clean, that never happens. The auto air colors are all still waterbased. The problem with them is the ā€œflakeā€ or metallic pigment is what clogs your brush . The larger 5mm nozzle is the way to go with these. Also the reason for being a little obsessive when filtering . I always finish coat with epoxy.

Surely someone has been painting since April? I've been making jig heads ,that's about it. I took a break from painting but will dust off the guns if necessary.
