I've noticed you paint with WickedColor, right? What is your reduction ratio, if any?
What is your preferable working pressure?
Thanks
I've only ever painted two objects with the Wicked paints. One is the lighter shown and another was a lighter that i gave to Dennis Delorenzo, the creater of the wicked paint range, to demonstrate the detailing that could be achieved with his paint. We also use a large range of water base paints when teaching the airbrush courses to students, which also include the Wicked range.
Every other piece of artwork i've painted is with RM Diamont solvent paints. The solvents have the advantage of drying instantly, very little tip dry and almost zero down time regarding cleaning the airbrushes. This is especially important for me when doing high volume work.
Working pressure is around the 25-30 psi mark. I don't measure the amount of reducer i add to any paints, whether it's solvent or waterbase. The viscosity of the paint depends on changing ambient temperatures and can vary from day to day, and hour to hour. So i'm constantly adding thinners or paint to my airbrush depending on the viscosity i need.
