I have no idea what to use for &#8216;primer,&#8217; so I found some interior acrylic &#8216;Feather Gray&#8217; at the hardware store, thinned it out, and shot it through the El Cheapo Harbor Freight airbrush.  Getting the right mix of &#8216;thin enough for the AB was a challenge, but I eventually got some &#8220;primer&#8221; laid down on the Mustang body parts.  I have no idea if it&#8217;s even going to stay stuck, so I&#8217;ll let it sit for a few days before checking it out &#8211; it&#8217;s stuck to my fingers quite nicely, however.  If it won&#8217;t stick, no worries &#8211; it&#8217;s water based, should come right off, and I can start again once I find some real primer for the airbrush.  I also learned a few valuable lessons today, in the way of securing the work, setting the flow needle, and making sure the airbrush actually stays together while cleaning it.  Good times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/82mustangbuild09.jpg?resize=780%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/82mustangbuild09.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/82mustangbuild09.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/82mustangbuild09.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airbrush_differences.jpg?resize=780%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"423\" data-link=\"https:\/\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/?attachment_id=423\" class=\"wp-image-423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airbrush_differences.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airbrush_differences.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/airbrush_differences.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I joined an airbrush forum and had a question about there being an adapter for Paasche airbrushes, since their hoses and fittings are different than the &#8216;standard.&#8217;  I took this pic to hopefully show the difference between the hoses and fittings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today after adding a few more finishing touches to the work space (tunes, a trash can, cutting mat, a new caster to replace the broken one on my old computer chair, etc.), I got to shoot some paint.
