mohawkman Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Usually water. If I'm using a thicker paint, I'll use Createx airbrush cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I run plain water through my brush after a session and then clean the bowl and wipe the needle with acetone. Whenever I feel the need, about once every 6 months, I disassemble the brush and soak the parts in airbrush cleaning solution overnight to remove anything I missed with the lighter cleanings. I put a drop of light machine oil in the trigger mechanism afterward. Airbrushes are simple machines and it usually doesn't take a lot to keep them going as long as you always clean them after every use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 If your using Windex make sure it's the kind that doesn't have ammonia in it. I can't speak firsthand, but have read in several different places that ammonia will take the chrome off of your airbrush. Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonister Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) I dont know if i just have a crappy brush but the one i got from Harbour Freight just wont clean. I mean i put water through it, and even cleaner, and will spray it though for a long time, but when i go to use it again, say a couple of days, i try to spray and it wont go through. I end up just spending 45 min. every time cleaning it out and usually the inner nozzle with tip and everything is full of dryed paint. Painting is fun but cleaning not so much. Sorry if i jacked this page but i thought maybe someone could help me and others who may have this problem too. By the way i use createx airbrush cleaner Edited June 4, 2015 by jonister 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
