Do I need to dillute my createx paint when using the iwata eclipse hp-cs If I do need to what would be the ratio. In also using this on a canvas

The transparent ones you don't need to. The opaques, you probably should, but not much. 1:1 maybe

the mixing ratio is used to mix paint or thin it you might have a ratio on a finish that says thin with 3 parts finish 1 part thinner than you use that scale so you can see how much to thinner to use for so much finish

I haven't used it for painting yet but it runs a sandblaster nonstop, although it does cycle often during the process. I would suspect it to keep up with an hvlp without problem.

Sorry, I cannot help you with your question. I am a beginner that just has fun painting. This kit works perfect for me.

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

As I recall .. I purchased the X7 refurbished unit which was around the same price as a new X5. I have no problems with the unit I purchased .. keep it clean .. buy extra paint filters and it worked great each time I used it ... 7 days regular use and no issues. Easy to move around from upstairs to down stairs .. I used only 5 gallon paint buckets ..

get the Perfect Grade. the Master Grade looks Boring and falls apart. I have mines in a bag in pieces.If you want a real big Master Grade get the Sazabi Ver Ka his massive over ten inch tall and very wide too. I have the color scheme Painting mines, and oh boy what an adventure. I ran out og Tamiya spry paint so I waiting on my next order to finish up the paint then add the water decals and I'm done

You should probably just stick with the wand. This gives the pressure of the white nozzle so it works best just on dirty surfaces. To strip paint I would think the yellow nozzle at least would be needed. I tried to take mildew off an astroturf surface and it did not do a good job at all. I suppose you could change the nozzles and get one that gives more pressure and try that but I would suggest sticking with the wand. I was using a 3000 psi machine and those are the results I got with it.

I noticed that the latest quart of this tung oil does not say anything about diluting it. The previous quarts did. I have used it straight from the can and also diluted it with same amount of mineral spirits. Either way it will make the grain in your new wood absolutely beautiful. I would recommend buffing with 0000 steel wool between coats (2 or 3). I used three undiluted coats on some inexpensive unfinished kitchen table chairs 20 years ago and they still look good dispite everyday use. I truly love this stuff and highly recommend it.

The first time I bought these, it was to use on rough dark brown cover stock. I experimented a little bit because one layer right out of the packaging wasn't quite bright enough. It'll work very well if you shake (mix) it very vigorously before hand to distribute the paint in the solvent and get the paint flowing and check the opacity on a scrap piece beforehand. At that point, one layer should have like 75-80% opacity, which is okay. If you want it to be 100%, let the first layer dry completely before going over it again delicately. If you push down too hard on the second pass it'll dig into the first layer and the solvent will redissolve it a little bit and gunk it up. If you want the absolute best results, and ANY results with several colors, especially dark colors over light colors, you'll need to fix each layer between coats with some sort of clear-coat. I use Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel... I've also used Painter's Touch Satin Clear when I didn't want too much gloss. Use a medium clear-coat for each overlap and it'll both darken the background and make the colors pop more. Good luck.

All you really need is a file and a pair of sprue cutters (or little wire cutters) The parts are all already colored and the kit snaps together (don't let that fool you, it's still really high quality and somewhat of a difficult build) Gundam Markers make it look nicer and so does paint. So if you want it to look really good then buy paint and markers but the parts are all already colored, so it looks alright without them.

I used the sun joe on cedar fence and was able to remove the dark patina and mold and mildew stains and made the fence look new. Used the medium narrow tip. Takes some time but works well. The only way to improve on the performance is to go with a gas powered unit.

Yes the paint has to be mixed. That wasn't a problem for me. I just mixed the second color a little less than the first color and it turned out good.

there is a paint thinner by createx or depending on what you want to use it for.. clear windex works good for me.. ( I use this for spray painting finger nail designs)

Hello the nozzle is large, and this is an entry level gun. This gun would be good for coverage but not for the small details in the eyes for example. However I do have 3 of these guns. I recommend the Iwata HP-CS over this gun any day. If the question is budget this is a better gun if you want quality check out the HP series.

for an accurate answer you need to provide specific use and gas volume requirements. Note that the cylinder I received is not a quality products I expected. The paint finish is inferior and the hydro test date was several years old.

There is a viscosity cup to test how much to thin your material. There is also a chart included in the instructions. Honestly, I mostly eyeballed it my first time through. You can also adjust the intensity of the paint stream in order to control coverage.
