question for airbrush users.

[steveo3002]

i do the odd bit of model making , dont really use the airbrush much

my question is for tiny amounts of paint mixed how are you handling it ? only need say 3 drips of thinned paint and seems a waste to mix it in a normal size jar and the clean up needed

Disposable pipette if I need a small amount, straight into the airbrush cup and thin to suit, mix it in the cup using backflow or the dirty pipette itself.

And then try and group together all the parts that are going to be a certain colour and paint all at once rather than chopping and changing colours over and over.

Otherwise I'll just pour paint straight into the airbrush cup and then just tip the excess back into the paint pot once I've finished painting.

This is what I do.
