Would use silicone paints if pre painted, illustrator can be used however they do crack off.

 

Silicone based temptu can be applied through an airbrush onto silicone prosthetics once applied but prosthetics can be pre painted.

 

Techno vent naptha- or can buy low odour white spirit.

 

For fine detail take off the crown cap at the front so the needle is exposed.

 

Touch up guns- can be used for bodypainting as they cover larger areas.

Wrap cord around wrist to prevent airline from getting in the way.

Can use an airbrush with two hands to control the airbrush.

 

Down for air back for paint.

 

The airbrush will bleed if you become closer to what you are spraying and do not decrease the paint flow. The closer you are the more paint will come out so push the button forward to decrease paint.

 

Try to get a consistent line of paint flow.

 

Keep the air on the whole time to prevent paint splats when you release the paint flow.

 

Needle can become blocked with paint just pull the leaver back and pull of the silicone or clean the IPA paints with IPA.

 

Consistency of paint in an airbrush should be like milk.

 

With IPA paints the consistency is obviously much thinner.

 

To add a mottling effect you can put a pencil just in front of the nozzle to allow the paint to bounce off the pencil and flick onto the area.

 

Thin layer of silicone can cut through the silicone and then airbrush through it, as silicone bends around the body better than acetate.

 

Soft masking is airbrushing over stencil etc. from a distance, hard masking is when you airbrush closer to the stencil you are masking.

 

When you have finished with the airbrush you need to drain the air in the compressor this helps release damp air from compressor and prevents the inside from becoming rusty.

 

Release the air every hour or so when doing a long body airbrush.

Don’t go above 20 PSI on skin- the amount of air pressure. No higher than 30.

 

If too much air is pushed onto the skin the air can go into your blood stream and cause a heart attack.

 

The lower the PSI the thinner the paint you can use, if the paint is thick a higher air pressure must be applied.
